Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 7 cups unsweetened coconut shreds
  • 7 cups water (brought to a boil)
  • Optional splashes of vanilla or almond extract to flavor

Instruction

  • Put the coconut in a large mixing bowl, and pour the boiling water over the coconut shreds.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel and let it steep 2-3 hours.
  • Pour the water/coconut shred mixture into a blender and blend about a minute.
  • Pour the blended coconut/water mixture into a cheesecloth or tea towel over a bowl and squeeze out the milk.
  • Store the milk in the fridge for a week, or in the freezer for months. Shake the coconut milk before serving –the cream will separate.
  • Save the leftover coconut shreds to use in your baking (granola bars, energy bars, etc), your smoothies, your oatmeal, or dehydrate and grind into coconut flour.
