INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups of coconut water
- 5 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 calamansi (optional)
- 2 sliced lemons
- 2 cups of ice
- Mint leaves
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Divide the lemon into quarters and set them aside.
- The calamansi lime, lemon, and coconut water juices should be combined in a pitcher. Mix thoroughly.
- After the pitcher is half-filled with ice, add the lemon slices. Garnish the lemonade with mint leaves before serving.
NOTE:
I chose Kimbo Young Coconut Juice and strained it to remove the pulp. You can disregard it if you don’t have a calamansi lime on hand. The calamondin tree bears these fruits. Southeast Asian or Filipino food markets sell them.
