Ingredients

  • 1 cup young coconut meat (I've used the meat from two young thai coconuts)
  • 2/3 cup water

Instructions

  • Spoon out the coconut flesh if you haven't already and put it along with the water in a blender.
  • Blend for about 2-5 minutes, depending on how powerful your blender is. If you're using a high-speed blender, you can use it as it is. If your blender is not that powerful, pour it through a cheesecloth or a super fine strainer into a container, press any remaining liquid out of the coconut and depending on how much stays in the cheesecloth, you may want to do another round of blending it with a little bit of water. Repeat the pouring & pressing steps.
  • Fill the coconut milk in an airtight container and store it in the fridge (1-2 days max) until you use it!
