It’s strange, but being pregnant has made me feel constantly parched. I can drink glasses and glasses of water, but still feel thirsty. It can be dangerous drinking too much water because the kidneys won’t be able to handle it, which will dilute the electrolyte content in your bloodstream. When I mentioned this to one of my friends who recently had a baby, she said she experienced the same thing and that her saving grace was to drink coconut water.
Since then, I’ve been looking for ways to add coconut water into my daily routine. Making this Agua de Jamaica lets me sneak some in at brunch. I started the day feeling hydrated, but better yet, I could pretend I was on vacation in Mexico, sipping away on this refreshing mocktail!
My favorite part about this Agua de Jamaica is the tangy, earthy and sweet taste, but I’m always in awe of the beautiful rich color. It’s stunning when set out in a pitcher on the table, and if you are making brunch for a crowd, it’s eye-catching color is sure to draw people in.
