How To: Make Coconut Milk
(Adapted From Elana’s Pantry)
Ingredients:
Soak coconut in water for 1-2 hours (do not discard water).
In a blender, combine coconut, water, vanilla, and process on highest speed.
Strain liquid through a fine mesh strainer (or a strainer bag, or cheesecloth would work), discarding solids. Serve or refrigerate.
Ways to use it:
Besides using coconut milk in recipes, it can also be used as a skin softener due to natural moisturizers and oils found in coconut milk.
Coconut milk is a great alternative to milk in desserts. You can substitute the oil and water with the same amount of coconut milk. It makes for a very moist cake.
Enjoy!!!
