Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients in local grocery stores and markets. Look for green coconuts in the produce aisle, where you can often request help to extract the pulp. If fresh green coconut is unavailable, frozen shredded coconut meat can serve as a substitute, though fresh is preferred for the best texture.
Preparation method
- Add the coconut water, crystal sugar, and cloves to a heavy-bottomed pot.
- Stir the ingredients together gently.
- Place over heat and wait for the syrup to reach a boil.
- Incorporate the grated coconut into the pot.
- Maintain the cook over high heat for about 20 minutes.
- Stir the contents of the pot occasionally so it does not stick.
- Turn off the heat as soon as the mixture reaches a creamy consistency.
