Homemade coconut milk

21-Jul-2014

Standard coconut milk is made by blending coconut with water and straining it, but that’s far from being low-fat, as all the coconut oil ends up in the water. However, we’ve found a simple way to obtain a liquid that has the same flavour as standard coconut milk, but no fat whatsoever. If you want to know how to make a virtually fat-free coconut milk, you simply have to watch our video.

Ingredients[ ounces / grams ]
75gdesiccated coconut
1lwater
1 cupdesiccated coconut (2.5oz)
4 cupwater
Instructions
  1. Place the water and the coconut into a container, mix the ingredients, and let them rest for one hour at room temperature.
  2. Once the time has elapsed, place the ingredients into the blender’s jug and blend at high speed for roughly 45 seconds.
  3. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve to remove the solids.
  4. Cover the container with cling film and store it in the fridge overnight. During this time the fat will become hard and easy to remove from the milk.
  5. Once the fat has been removed, the milk is ready to be used.
