Alternative milk options is an exploding industry and even some of the healthiest choices at the grocery store have added ingredients that really aren’t necessary. Whenever possible, I try to make things at home instead of going with store-bought, and this coconut milk recipe has now become a staple in my weekly regimen. Read more on the numerous health benefits here. Give it a try and get ready to fall in love!
Ingredients
2 cups Water- 1 cup unsweetened shredded Coconut
2 cups WaterNote: You can sweeten it if you want to but I don’t!
Directions
- Bring the water to a boil. Place the shredded coconut in a blender and add the water.
- Place a towel over top since it’s hot and blend for 30 seconds.
- Put a strainer over a bowl. If you have a milk bag you can use that. Otherwise, pour the blended milk into the strainer and use a flat object (such as a spatula or large spoon) and press the coconut to get the liquid out.
- Pour the “milk” into a glass storage container and keep in the fridge. I would recommend using within 5-7 days but it most likely will not last that long! You can use the leftover shredded coconut for smoothies or desserts if you want. Enjoy!
