Step-by-step instruction

Homemade coconut milk is a popular drink that is becoming more and more in demand every year, especially among adherents of proper nutrition, who want to lose weight and cleanse the body of toxins, as well as athletes. The value of the drink lies in the fact that it contains a significant amount of useful substances: omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, amino acids, fatty oils, dietary fiber (including fiber), enzymes, mono- and polysaccharides, micro- and macroelements ( including selenium, calcium, zinc, manganese, copper, magnesium, potassium, iron, etc.). Separately, it is worth noting the content of natural fructose, which confirms the benefits of the product for losing weight.

Advice! Experts recommend consuming 100 milliliters of coconut milk two to three times a week. But remember that only fresh composition brings benefits to the body, and not canned.

Let's get started making delicious homemade coconut milk with our own hands. A visual step-by-step recipe will help in this, eliminating the possibility of making a mistake.

Step 1

Pour about half a liter of hot water into a blender. Pour coconut flakes (freeze-dried) there. Whisk well for five to seven minutes. After that, leave the product in the blender for another ten minutes so that the shavings accurately absorb all the water.

Step 2

Then strain the liquid into a separate container using a fine sieve. This will get rid of the shavings and get only coconut milk. Then, using a watering can, pour the liquid into the bottle in which the milk will be stored.

Step 3

That's it, homemade coconut milk made from shavings is ready. It remains to close the container and put it away for storage, if you do not plan to use the drink immediately. By the way, in the future, you can get ice cream, yoghurt from milk or use it to create desserts. Enjoy your meal!
