Super quick and simple way to make your everyday essentials without the use of unnecessary packaging. Save yourself some money and make super creamy coconut milk yourself! (it's fab in coffee)
Ingredients
Coconut Milk
2 cups desiccated coconut
4 cups cold filtered water
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Cacao Milk - as above plus
2 tbsp cacao powder
2 tsp agave syrup
Instructions
Put all of the ingredients into a blender and whizz on the highest speed for about a minute or two.
Place a muslin/cheesecloth over a large bowl or jug and pour the milk into the muslin.
Squeeze the liquid through the muslin, try and get as much milk out as possible as this removes the moisture from the pulp.
Remove the muslin and pulp. Set the pulp aside for another use or recipe!
(If you are making the cacao milk - place the milk back in the blender and quickly whizz up with the cacao and agave)
Transfer your milk into a sanitized glass bottle and store in the fridge for up to a week!
Notes
It will naturally separate. Just give it a stir!
