How to Make Coconut Milk

This comes to us from a Malaysian mother. There is nothing like fresh coconut milk.

• Fresh coconut

METHOD

Grate the white flesh of a brown coconut using a cheese grater (the fine side will produce better results). Add one cup of warm water to the grated coconut, put in a bowl and squeeze with your hands or put in a food processor and blitz.

Put results in a fine muslin cloth, twist into a ball and squeeze as hard as you can. The first results are the thickest, called coconut cream. The second and third cup of water you add and squeeze results in coconut milk which is thinner.
