Preparation

Step 1

-Pour the desiccated coconut and hot water into your blender (if your blender has a plastic jug do this step in a stainless steel or glass bowl).
-Let it sit for at least 2 hours, allowing the coconut to soften and the water to cool.
-Then whizz in blender on high speed for 30–60 seconds (Thermomix: speed 9 for 30 seconds).
-Strain milk into a wide mouth jug, using a nut milk bag or a few layers of muslin cloth.
(Do not throw out the pulp.)
-Use the milk in curries, smoothies, porridges, soups – or make yoghurt!
*The milk should keep for 3–4 days in the fridge.
*Can freeze it in portions to use.
