This drink is fast to make, about 30 minutes, and good for weekends with the family. It has a light, sweet taste and a cool feeling. Coconut water and natural aloe vera work well together, and many people enjoy this mix. Below is a simple way to prepare it with ingredients you can find easily.

1. How to make coconut water with natural aloe vera and rock sugar

1.1 Ingredients

You’ll need:

5 fresh coconuts
3 thick, green, natural aloe vera leaves
1 bunch of pandan leaves
300g rock sugar

The blend of coconut water and aloe vera may sound new, but the taste is incredibly refreshing once you try it.

1.2 Instructions

Peel the aloe vera and remove all the yellow sap so the drink does not turn bitter. Rinse the clear gel many times under clean water to wash away the slimy parts.

You need to get rid of the yellow sap immediately to prevent the drink from tasting bitter.

To make the aloe vera cubes crunchier and clearer, blanch them in boiling water for about two minutes. Then put them straight into ice water.

Open the coconuts and pour the coconut water into a pot. Heat it on low. Add 300 g of rock sugar and stir until the sugar melts. Add pandan leaves to create a soft smell.

When the pot starts to boil gently, add the aloe vera cubes and cook for around ten minutes so they take in the sweetness. Turn off the heat and let it cool.

You will taste the mild sweetness of coconut water and rock sugar, the pandan smell, and the crunchy aloe vera. Serve with ice for a cooler drink.

2. Benefits and Tips

2.1 Things to keep in mind

To guarantee the best quality, remember these few key points:
