For many people, tea is more than just a drink. It’s a part of daily life—a warm cup that brings comfort, calm, and a familiar routine. While the internet is full of fun and unique tea recipes, most tea lovers still enjoy the classic versions like strong milk tea or the light, fragrant flavours of Darjeeling and Assam. After all, what can beat the relaxing aroma of fresh tea? But just when it seemed like we had seen every kind of tea possible, a new version appeared online—and it’s got everyone talking. The reason? It’s made using coconut water.
Yes, that’s right. A video has gone viral on Instagram, showing a woman preparing what she calls Coconut Water Tea. The unusual recipe has sparked a lot of discussion, confusion, and curiosity across social media.
How She Made It
The video is quite eye-catching. It begins with the woman putting a whole coconut into an oven. She then cuts the top to open it up and reach the water inside. Into the coconut shell, she adds some tea leaves, two spoons of sugar, and what looks like chopped ginger. She lets it cook with those ingredients inside.
After a while, she pours in a cup of milk and stirs it until the tea looks ready. Once done, she performs a little trick—carefully pouring the tea into a glass and rotating it over the coconut shell without spilling anything. Then, she finally transfers the tea into a cup and serves it, with a generous helping of biscuits on the side.

A Twist on Classic Tea
From what we can see, her method mostly follows the usual milk tea recipe. But instead of regular water, she uses fresh coconut water, which is what makes this recipe so unique. Still, many tea lovers didn’t seem to like the idea.
Mixed Reactions Online
People had strong opinions. One person expressed their frustration, writing, “Why the hell are people playing with our emotions? Why only tea? Why?” Another user didn’t hold back and said, “What a ignorant thing you are doing!” A third viewer replied with multiple vomiting and sick face emojis, clearly showing their disgust.
