1. Look for a ripe coconut. A mature brown coconut is what you need for its sweet and delicious water. Check for any cracks or holes in the shell, for it may be a sign that the coconut is already spoiled.
2. Find a clean, flat surface and place the coconut sideways. Locate its three 'eyes.' One of these is softer than the others and should be used as the opening.
3. Using a screwdriver or a clean nail, pierce the soft eye. Wiggle the tool in a circular motion until the small hole widens to let the coconut water flow.
4. Let the water inside the shell pour out into a container. You'll have to tilt the coconut to direct the water out if the hole is small.
5. Open the coconut for the meat if desired. Turn the coconut upright and firmly tap its middle section around the circumference with a mallet or back of a knife. Do it in a steady, rhythmic pattern until a crack develops. Gently pry open the shell with your hands or a blunt object like a spoon.
