Ingredients:
2 cups organic finely desiccated coconut; no sulfur / 202 / 200 added
3 cups warm filtered water (makes it easier to blend together)
Tools you'll need:
Fine muslin cloth, nut milk bag or a thin kitchen towel
Blender
Method:
1. Place the coconut in a blender with the 3 cups of water. Blend 2-3 minutes on high and pour out the mixture into a bowl lined with the cloth.
2. Bring the cloth edges together. Gently strain and squeeze through your 'milk'. Keep gently squeezing the pulp until it's dry.
3. Use milk straight away or keep sealed in a jar in the fridge for up to 2 days. It will separate: just shake it back together.
4. Reserve left-over pulp; keep in kip-lock bag in fridge or freezer.
Coconut oil and coconut milk supports healthy metabolic function and is a revered anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal agent. Pacific Islanders deem coconut oil to be the cure-all gift from nature for an illness. You can always use canned coconut milk, however we do recommend finding a brand that contains no preservatives (sulfur / 220 / 202) or stabilisers (guar gum), mineral added water, and ideally in BPA-free cans.
Coconut milk works great as an alternative to milk in chai tea and cold or hot chocolate. Great as a base for smoothies: blend with ice and fresh pineapple for a healthy Pina Colada!
