Just the thing for a hairy, scary Halloween beverage…or to perk up your morning any day of the year, from the Mary Meade Magic Recipes (yes, I know I am stuck on it lately, but I love the name AND the recipes). I tend to skip the simmering with today’s moister coconut, but if you buy organic or your coconut is a bit dry, definitely simmer.

Orange Coconut Flip

Simmer for 10 minutes, covered
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
3 cups water

Cool, strain and add
1 can frozen orange juice
1 cup cracked ice

Blend about 15 seconds. Pour over more cracked ice in tall glasses.
