HOW TO MAKE HOME MADE COCONUT MILK:
- Purchase a young coconut, These ones do not have the brown outer shell, they have the white husk on the outside still, make sure not to confuse them! The other kind works too but its a lot more work!
- Using the base of a sharp french knife puncture the coconut multiple times to create an opening in the top ( It may take many hits before you can break through the hard shell).
- Poor our the sweet coconut water making sure not to get any bits of husk in it.
- Using a spoon scrape out all the soft flesh inside.
- Add both water and flesh to a high speed blender, blend until smooth.
- Use within 3 days for fresh tasting coconut milk!
