How to Make Coconut Milk
The things you can do with a bag of shredded unsweetened coconut! We've already madecoconut butter, and now we're going to make coconut milk. You can get a can of organic coconut milk for about $2 at its cheapest. Those cans are often lined with BPA and/or the company adds other ingredients such as guar gum. Guar gum is actually pretty natural, but I never add any ingredients I don't have to. Bonus Fact: Did you know guar gum is a critical ingredient in fracking fluid?
Ingredients:
1 c. shredded unsweetened coconut
2 c. filtered water
First, heat the water. It does not need to be boiling, it just needs to be hot. Put the coconut and hot water in a food processor or blender.
Blend it until the coconut is completely pureed and it's all combined. It took about 10 minutes in my little food processor. Pour the coconut milk in a glass jar. That's it!
This batch makes about 20 ounces of coconut milk. Keep it in the refigerator for up to 5 days. Because there are no stabilizers, the fat will rise to the top. Just give the jar a shake before you use it.
This jar of homemade coconut milk cost me 62¢ to make!
