I never knew how easy it was to make coconut milk! It’s cheaper too no nasty additives. All you need is desiccated coconut, a blender/thermomix and some boiling water. You can ever dehydrate the leftover coconut to make flour or use it up in smoothies or curries. No wastage!

Super easy homemade coconut milk

Category: Paleo
Serves: 1L
Ingredients
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
- 4 cups boiling water
Directions
- Soak the coconut in boiling water for an hour or 2 in a bowl (or skip if you're impatient or need immediately!)
- Blend at high speed in a blender or thermomix for about 30-45 seconds.
- Pour into a nut bag held over a large jug or bowl. Let it cool for a bit as you won't be able to squeeze the bag whilst it's so hot!
- Squeeze as much liquid out as you can. Viola! Coconut milk
- Use or refrigerate.
Notes
You can use the left over coconut - dry it out, process it into flour or just add into your curries or smoothies.
The fat will separate in the fridge so warm gently and shake well before using straight from the fridge.
