Homemade Organic Coconut Milk

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw organic coconut meat (from a mature coconut) or unsweetened organic coconut flakes

• 2 to 4 cups filtered water (adjust for desired thickness)

  
  

Instructions:

Prepare the Coconut:

If using raw coconut meat, cut it into small pieces.

If using coconut flakes, ensure they are unsweetened and free from additives.

Blend:

Combine the coconut meat or flakes with 2 cups of filtered water in a high-speed blender.

Blend on high for about 1–3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Adjust Consistency:

For a thicker, creamier milk, use less water.

For a lighter milk, add up to 2 more cups of water and blend briefly to combine.

Strain (Optional):

Pour the blended mixture through a nut milk bag, fine mesh sieve, or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher.

Squeeze or press to extract as much liquid as possible. This step ensures a smoother milk but can be skipped if you prefer a more textured beverage.

Store:

Transfer the coconut milk to a clean glass jar or bottle.

Refrigerate and consume within 3–4 days. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.

Notes:

• The leftover coconut pulp can be dried and used in baking or added to smoothies for extra fiber.

  Using warm water can help extract more fat from the coconut, resulting in a richer milk.

  This homemade coconut milk is free from preservatives and additives, making it a wholesome alternative to store-bought versions.
