JayasheeWho knew you could make your own coconut milk from just two ingredients? One of the challenges about living in small-town Mexico is that I can’t find canned coconut milk. It’s expensive to have shipped from Amazon, so I decided to get crafty! The great thing about making your own coconut milk is that there’s no BPA, no preservatives, and it’s cheaper! Let’s dive in!
How to Make Coconut Milk
Ingredients:
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
4 cups water
Directions:
Soak shredded coconut in hot (but not boiling) water for 1-2 hours.
Blend coconut shreds in soaking water in a high-powered blender.
Strain liquid through a nut milk bag or fine cheesecloth, pressing out all the liquid you can. You’ll be amazed at how much you can squeeze out! This should yield about 3-3 1/2 cups of very delicious coconut milk!
