27 Aug Simple Coconut Milk

I used to go to the store to buy coconut milk. In addition to being quite costly, store bought coconut milk often has a list of mystery ingredients that we just don’t need. Next time you head to the store, simply grab some unsweetened dried coconut then come home and give this recipe a try! Its fast, easy, affordable and has 2 simple ingredients!

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened dried coconut
• 4 cups hot water (use less for a thicker milk)

Steps:

1. Add coconut and 2 cups hot water to blender
2. Blend on high speed, about 1 minute
3. Strain through a cheese cloth
4. Add the remaining coconut pulp to blender with remaining 2 cups hot water and repeat process
5. Discard coconut pulp
6. Store in refrigerator, consume in about 5 days
