Did you know that you can make your own coconut milk in no more than a couple of minutes? I was buying organic coconut milk, both the tetra pack and canned (BPA-Free) versions, and did some investigating into what was in the lining of BPA-Free cans. I didn’t like what I found, but that’s a discussion for another blog post. I figured that it couldn’t be too hard to make myself, and I was right. This version isn’t thick like the canned variety. If I need a thicker version for recipes, I add more Coconut Manna (pureed coconut) to thicken the sauce.
Ingredients:
Coconut Manna (Coconut Butter/Pureed Coconut)
Water
Put 4 tablespoons of Coconut Manna per 1 cup of water in a blender. Blend for one minute. Strain the mixture using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Voila! Your own coconut milk with only 2 ingredients!
