I hadn't thought of making coconut milk from shredded coconut until I read Sarma Melngailis' book Living Raw Food. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. This recipe is a little messy to make, however, I like it since it's a heck of a lot easier than cracking open a fresh coconut and scooping out the meat, etc. /diy-coconut-milk/ Ingredients:
2 cups shredded coconut (i use unsweetened) |
4 cups water |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
6 drops stevia |
Directions:
1. Soak coconut in water for 1-2 hours (do not discard water).
2. In a Vita-Mix, combine coconut, water, vanilla and stevia and process on highest speed.
3. Strain liquid through a fine mesh paint strainer bag, discarding solids.
4. Serve.
