Coconut Lime Mint Cooler Recipe
Serving Size: 2 servings of 12 oz
INGREDIENTS:
1.5 Cup of Coconut Milk (Sweetened or unsweetened)
1/4 Cup Fresh Lime Juice
1 Cup of Water
Zest of 3 Limes
20 Fresh Mint Leaves
4 Tablespoons of Granulated Sugar
Lime wheels for garnish
Ice cubes
HOW TO MAKE IT:
1. In a large bowl, zest the limes – be sure not to get any of the white skin of the lime as this will make your drink bitter.
2. To the same bowl, add the mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Using your hand, grind the ingredients until well combined. This will allow the zest and the mint leaves to release their flavors.
3. Juice the limes until you get about a ¼ cup of juice.
4. Then, pour the water and the fresh lime juice into the bowl and stir well. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes so that it gets infused with all the goodness of the zest and mint.
5. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the liquid to remove all of the mint and zest residue.
6. Add the coconut milk to the mixture and stir until it is well combined. This is where you can taste and adjust for sweetness.
7. In a glass with ice, pour your delicious Coconut Lime Mint Cooler, add a couple of lime wheels and you are ready to transport yourself to a tropical paradise! Enjoy!
