Ingredients

  • 2 Cups of unsweetened shredded coconut subject to consistency
  • 4 Cups of water Almost boiling
  • Fine sieve or filter mesh bag for extracting
  • Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
  • Storage jar or jug
  • *** 1tsp of non GMO sunflower lecithin to emulsify optional (see post above for details)

Instructions

  • Add the shredded coconut to the blender (I'm using my vitamix)
  • Carefully add the hot water, you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.
  • Once you have securely put the lid on, begin to blend the mixture for a few minutes. At this point, you're looking for a thick and creamy consistency.
  • Place the mesh bag or sieve on top of your storage jar/jug
  • Begin to slowly pour the coconut milk into your chosen container and squeeze out the remaining coconut extract from the pulp (use a spoon and press down on the pulp if using a sieve)
  • If using sunflower lecithin add now and run the entire coconut milk again in the blender to emulsify. If not skip this step.
  • **If you have any additional water left over, repeat the process using the pulp**
  • Feel free to add any extras i.e pinch of Himalayan pink salt, vanilla etc.. and stir.
  • Store the coconut milk in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
