This coconut coffee recipe from Gimme Some Oven helps to counteract the dehydrating effects that coffee has. The Coconut Water Iced Coffee is prepared with a base of coconut water rather than milk, making this beverage super light and refreshing for the summer months.
The two-ingredient recipe only calls for coconut water and a cold brew coffee concentrate. Although you could embellish the recipe as you see fit, the natural sweetness provided by the coconut negates the need for any more sugar. Since this recipe is so simple, it's easy to play around with the ratios and get the exact balance of coffee to coconut water that you find pleasing.
If you don't have any milk alternatives on hand in the kitchen, this gluten-free and dairy-free recipe is a great alternative to traditional chilled coffee.
