Homemade Coconut Milk


BPA free sound good? Homemade sound fun?! Let's make some homemade coconut milk! I have become sick of buying canned coconut milk as it seems expensive for what you really get, so I grabbed a 2 KG bag of unsweetened shredded coconut at costco for $11 and decided to make my own.


Difficulty: easy peasy
Author: adapted from wellness mama.

Ingredients 
  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut 
  • 4 cups water 


Directions


Place 4 cups of water and 2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut into vitamix. Turn that baby on slowly working up to ten speed then flipping the ultra power switch.


Blend for about 5 minutes or until thick and creamy.


Next, grab a large bowl and a strainer. Pour coconut mixture into strainer a little bit at a time being careful you don't over fill it. Once you've separated the fiber from the liquid you have coconut milk!


Put the coconut milk into a mason jar and place in the fridge for up to three days. Use it to make coconut rice, banana coconut smoothies and tons more. Enjoy.
