SAFETY FIRST:
When breaking the coconut I keep it covered in a kitchen towel or plastic bag to prevent splinters from flying around. My hubby helped me break the coconut in the video, but if you have no help remember to watch your fingers because you have to really pound away with that hammer.
If you're very inexperienced please use gloves while handling the coconut or use a kitchen towel to hold it sturdily when removing the husk.
INGREDIENTS:
Recipe Yields 10 - 12 drops
About 3 1/2 cups Water
Approximately 1/4 tsp Salt
1 cinnamon stick
4 cups diced coconut
3 tbsps ginger (more or less)
4 1/2 cups Brown sugar
vanilla to taste

😔 I don't think we do a good job of handing down traditional practices. Thanks for the video. I love it

Mi juss mek some. I didn't realize that they should sit that long in order to set. The first time I made them was for my daughter's school and i remove them from the foil paper too soon. Great results today.

I had so much compliments on the drops I made following your technique. I did 2 cups each of coconut, water, & sugar and everything thing else you stated. That made 6 drops. I doubled the recipe and they are perfect, just like back a yard! Thanks you sooo much for sharing.

The weakest point on the coconut is around the top. Tap it lightly round and round. Easy to break up into pieces from deh Suh.
