• Remove the light brown skin off the sea coconut, it should slide off easily for those soft ones, slice the sea coconut into about 5~8mm thick slices.
• In a large pot, boil water (~1500ml, depending on pot size). Put in the sea coconuts that are firmer to cook first (this is to soften them first).
• After about 10 minutes, put in the rest of the ingredients.
• Once the water has come to a boil again, lower the flame intensity and let it continue to boil till the soup turns light brown in colour and taste flavourful.
• Tada! Enjoy it hot or chill cooled dessert in fridge for 3~4 hours before serving!
