Coconut Milk
This is my homemade coconut milk. Super easy to make and wonderful for coconut kefir.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups shredded coconut dried, unsweetened
- 2 cups hot water
- 2 cups cold water
Instructions
- Place the coconut and 2 cups of hot water in a blender and let it sit for 30 minutes to rehydrate the coconut. Then add 2 cups of cold water and blend for 2 minutes. You may want to hold the lid of the blender with a kitchen towel to prevent spills. Let the mixture cool until you can handle touching the liquid for the next step.
- Place the nut bag or cheesecloth over a large mixing bowl or pitcher. Pour the coconut milk into the nut bag or cheesecloth. Gather up the edges and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
- Enjoy and store in the refrigerator.
- For a thicker consistency, leave the pulp in and don't strain it out. It might stick to the kefir grains but it doesn't hurt them.
