Description
A refreshing and hydrating Coconut Water Lemonade made with freshly squeezed lemon juice, natural coconut water, and a touch of maple syrup. Perfect for a healthy, cooling drink on warm days or anytime you need a revitalizing beverage.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
- 4 cups coconut water (unsweetened, not from concentrate)
- ¼ to ⅓ cup maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
Instructions
- Extract Lemon Juice: Begin by squeezing the juice from approximately 3 fresh lemons to yield ½ cup of lemon juice. Make sure to remove seeds and collect fresh juice for the best flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice into a large glass jar or small pitcher. Add the 4 cups of coconut water to the lemon juice.
- Sweeten the Mixture: Stir the mixture well, then add ¼ to ⅓ cup of maple syrup to taste. Mix thoroughly until the sweetener is fully incorporated.
- Serve: Serve the coconut water lemonade over ice cubes with additional lemon slices if desired. For later use, transfer the lemonade to the refrigerator to chill.
Notes
- Store the lemonade in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
- Maple syrup adds a subtle natural flavor. For a neutral sweetness, use agave nectar or granulated sugar dissolved in water (equal parts sugar and water heated and cooled before use).
- Customize your lemonade by adding fresh herbs like mint or basil, strawberries, a splash of coconut milk, or sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
