Coconut Recipe √ Coconut Milk

Forgot to buy a can of coconut milk? You can make your own! It is gluten-free and dairy-free. Works best for soups and curries. I used a Blendtec® blender. Use coconut milk within 3 days.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 cups water

Cooking Directions

1. Blend coconut flakes in a blender until powdery, scraping down the sides as needed. Add water and blend on medium-high speed for 45 seconds. Blend 2 or 3 more times for a thicker and creamier milk.
2. Strain milk through a metal strainer into a container with a lid. Cover container and refrigerate.
