Coconut Milk Ingredients
Method
Coconut Milk Preparation
Prepare the Coconut Meat
If using fresh coconut, crack open the coconut and scoop out the meat. Chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the chopped coconut meat and water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Strain the Mixture
Place a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour the blended mixture into the cloth or strainer. Gather the edges and squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible.
Season the Coconut Milk
Once strained, pour the coconut milk back into the blender. Add salt and blend for a few seconds to combine.
Store the Coconut Milk
Transfer the coconut milk into a clean container and store it in the refrigerator. Use within 4-5 days.
