This DIY coconut milk recipe is simple, natural, and perfect for your paleo lifestyle. Free from additives, it's a healthier alternative to store-bought options.
Soak the Coconut Flakes: First, soak the coconut flakes for about four hours in the distilled water. This will soften the flakes and make them easier to blend.
Blend the Mixture: Once the flakes have gone mushy in the water, put them in your blender, and blend for a few minutes until you achieve a smooth and evenly mixed texture.
Strain the Mixture: Then, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or a fine sieve. Using a cheesecloth is much easier on the washing-up than a sieve!
Store: Finally, store the coconut milk in an airtight container in the fridge and use within three days or so.
Notes
Oh - and the contents of the cheesecloth? Don’t waste it! You can use the leftover coconut pulp in your paleo baking!
