One time in my life, like many times in my life, when I try all kinds of interesting stuff, I was trying to stay off dairy products completely, so of course I resulted to nut milk; coconut, almond nut, cashew nut and sometimes rice milk or soy milk.
Every now and then I try to make my own nut milk rather get the ones from the store. It is super easy, may be a little labor of love involved if you use a fresh coconut, however there are a couple of short cuts like using unsweetened desiccated coconut, soak in hot water for couple of hours and then blend and strain.
But here is my homemade coconut milk.
You'll need:
- 1 whole coconut
- 3 cups of water or 2 times the quantity of the coconut
- A fine straining cloth or cheese cloth
Step1- Break the coconut and remove the meat from the shell, you need to do this with care as it involves knife work.
Step2- Grate the coconut meat.
Step3- Add the grated coconut and water into a blender and then blend until the coconut is as smooth as possible.
Step4- Strain the milk with the cheese cloth or fine strain.
Step5- Enjoy the coconut milk with cereal, in smoothies or by itself.
This method can be used for most nuts, let me know your favorite nut milk in the comments.
Peace!
