Note that ripe coconut means green, not brown and dry. At Max's conch bar on Long island he includes some of the jelly from the coconut, and I dont think he added the cinnamon and sugar, but I could be mistaken, he combines the ingredients and hits it with a blender, giving a nice creamy cool beverage with little chunks of coconut jelly. Best drink I ever hope to imbibe, and paired with their equally amazing conch salad... just heaven.
