Ingredients
  

  • Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk: 1 can 11.6 oz
  • Lime Juice: 1 cup about 8–10 limes
  • White Granulated Sugar: ½ cup
  • Coconut Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Water: 8 cups you can swap 2 cups with coconut water if you’re feeling fancy

Equipment

  • Lime Juicer: To get every last drop without a struggle
  • Large Pitcher (at least 70 oz): For mixing everything without overflow drama

Method
 

  1. Warm the Coconut Milk: Place the unopened can in hot water for about 5 minutes. This helps it mix better later.
  2. Juice the Limes: Get about 1 cup of fresh lime juice. Yes, it’s a bit of work. Worth it.
  3. Mix Lime and Sugar: Pour lime juice into the pitcher, add sugar, and stir until dissolved.
  4. Add Coconut Flavor: Stir in coconut extract and the condensed coconut milk until smooth.
  5. Add Water: Pour in the water last and mix everything well.
  6. Serve Over Ice: Add ice, maybe a lime wedge, and pretend you’re somewhere cooler.
