Coconut milk is an ingredient found in many beauty recipes and in even more cooking recipes. You can buy coconut milk in supermarkets and hypermarkets. If you can't find any, don't worry — here is how to make your own.
How do you make homemade coconut milk?
This milk is made from grated coconut.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Grated coconut | 80 g. |
| Water (spring water) | 1 litre |
Method
- Put 80 g. of grated coconut and 1 litre of water into a saucepan.
- Leave to stand for 12 hours.
- Bring to the boil. Simmer over a low heat for 5 minutes. Leave to stand for half an hour.
- Use a sieve to collect the liquid, leaving the grated coconut behind.
The liquid you obtain can be used in cosmetic recipes. It is also edible. The drink is delicious, with a strongly pronounced coconut flavour. It can be enjoyed plain or very lightly sweetened, poured over cereal at breakfast or used in cooking. It suits sweet dishes and exotic ones alike. It is, however, very high in calories.
