Ingredients
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 3 lemons)
- 4 cups unsweetened coconut water (not from concentrate)
- ¼ to ⅓ cup maple syrup or your favorite sweetener
Instructions
- Extract Lemon Juice: Start by squeezing the juice out of fresh lemons until you have about ½ cup of juice. This typically requires around 3 medium-sized lemons.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice into a large glass jar or small pitcher. Add the 4 cups of unsweetened coconut water to the lemon juice.
- Sweeten the Drink: Stir the lemon juice and coconut water mixture well, then add ¼ to ⅓ cup of maple syrup or your preferred sweetener, adjusting to taste. Stir until fully combined.
- Serve Chilled: Pour the Coconut Water Lemonade over ice cubes in glasses, garnish with lemon slices if desired, and enjoy immediately. Alternatively, refrigerate it to serve cold later.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may alter the taste.
- Choose unsweetened coconut water without any added sugars or concentrates for a natural and refreshing drink.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, start with ¼ cup maple syrup and adjust according to taste.
- This beverage can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- For a sparkling version, substitute half of the coconut water with sparkling water just before serving.
