Banana Coconut Milk Drink with Nata de Coco
Banana Coconut Milk with Nata de Coco
Every time I shop at my local Asian market, Dragonstar, I pick up these bottles of coconut milk drinks. They basically consist of coconut milk and water, sugar, some type of fruit, and these small, chewy coconut gel cubes called nata de coco. The nata de coco sit on the bottom and you chew them as you drink. Sounds a little weird to have chunks of something in your drink, but it grew on me; much like boba tea and basil seed drinks did. So I took it upon myself to learn how to make it.
Equipment
- immersion blender
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups coconut water
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 small banana

- Cut each cube of the nata de cocointo 8 smaller cubes.
- Placd the nata de coco in the bottom of a glass.
- Pour the coconut milk drink over the nata de coco and serve.
