Homemade Coconut Milk

By á-32529

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup organic finely shredded unsweetened dried coconut (I like Tropical Tradition’s or Let’s Do Organic brands)
• 1 1/4 cup just boiled water

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place coconut into the large cup of a Magic Bullet or bottom of a Blender.
2. Add freshly boiled, very hot water to coconut.
3. Blend on high for 5 minutes (with the magic bullet, I blend for 45-60 seconds at a time, give the motor a few second break, and then repeat).
4. Pour pulp into a Nut-Milk Bag or Cheesecloth (or other chosen strainer) suspended over a glass bowl, mason jar, or measuring cup (have your strainer suspended over your bowl before you pour in the pulp).
5. You can either let gravity do its thing or you can squeeze the pulp through your bag or cheesecloth to release to coconut milk (I suggest waiting for the pulp to cool a little before doing this).
6. If not being used immediately, store coconut milk in a glass jar in the fridge (the jar is great for shaking up later). Enjoy!

One of my followers suggested using hot unsweetened coconut water instead of regular water in this recipe for an even better tasting coconut milk. Definitely worth a try if you plan on drinking this milk or pouring on paleo
