Nature has given us many sweet food sources. It's like nature's romantic way for my soul to feel calm when I have to face many problems in life. Sweet fruits, for example, are things we should be grateful for.
Each region does have distinctive fruits that are different from one another. This makes us appreciate one another. Also, it makes us curious to taste fruits in other people's areas. And one thing is certain, it makes us grateful for the abundant supply of fruits available in nature.
Coconut is one of the fruits that I am most grateful for. All parts of coconut can be processed, and valuable. I'm going to use young coconut in this refreshing drink recipe. I use young coconut water and young coconut flesh.
If you can only find the old coconut or even too young coconut, then you have no coconut flesh but that's okay. It's just the texture will not be creamy. But the taste is still incredibly sweet.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, I have melon musk. oh, that sounds like an interesting melon name, right? :P
I bought this melon musk for IDR 65K or about USD 4.65. Sounds a little pricey but I'm okay with that. At least, I can get a good quality sweet and fragrant melon.
The use of melon musk which has a beautiful orange flesh color is a great advantage for a nice finished drink.
Well, what if you don't have honey melon like mine which is purple? You can replace it with melon in general. But the sweetness will be reduced. So you can add other sweeteners.
The Ingredients
- a big size young coconut
- 300 grams of melon
- (optional) ice cubes for serving
How To Make It
Preparing Young Coconut.
First of all, I took the coconut water out of the coconut shell. Then, split the coconut into two parts. And, I dredge the coconut meat. set aside.
Cutting Melon. 
After finishing preparing the young coconut, I prepared the melon. Starting from splitting the melon into two parts.
Removing the Seeds and Skin of the Melon. 
Remove the melon seeds and skin. Then cut the melon into small pieces, so that they become easier to blend into juice.
Adding All Ingredients Into Blender. 
Put all the ingredients into the blender. Adjust the amount to your taste.
If you don't like the creamy texture, you can add more coconut water compared to the melon flesh measure.
Serving Juice. 
When finished blending, serve the juice with a serving glass. Add young coconut flesh and melon flesh as garnishes, which are shaped according to taste.
I formed the melon in a semicircle shape. Then I poked melon flesh and young coconut flesh with a toothpick to put them on the glass.
You can add ice cubes or not. For my version this time, I don't use ice because I have a cold.
The result of this drink is very sweet. I didn't think about that. The natural sweetness from young coconut water and honey melon musk melon which is sweeter than most melons.
This drink is perfect for serving in sunny areas and for those of you who like sweet drinks. Also, kids will love this drink to accompany their playtime.
So, what do you think? What is your favorite type of fruit that you usually make juice without the addition of artificial sweeteners?
