How to Make Fresh Coconut Milk

Ingredients:

• Mature coconut
• Warm/hot water

Materials:                                                                

• Coconut grater(optional)
• Knife (to crack coconut)
• Blender/food processor
• cheese cloth
• 2 stainless steel bowls

Method:

Crack open the coconut and pour the water from it inside a bowl. Use the coconut grater to grate all the meat out into the bowl. If you do not have a coconut grater, you can use a knife, although an easier method is to put both halves of the coconut in the freezer for a few hours. After it is out of the freezer, the white meat should dislodge out of the shell.
