Yield: Yields about 2 cups

The flesh and water from one fresh coconut

INGREDIENTS

• 1 + ½ cup plain filtered water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add coconut flesh, coconut water and 1 cup water to the jar of your blender
2. Process on the highest possible speed for 5 to 10 minutes; you really want to get the most out of that coconut flesh as you possibly can. You'll notice, as the flesh spins around, that it will get looser and looser and will spin more freely after a while. You want to be able to see some liquid in there. A good amount of liquid!
3. When you feel your coconut has given all it had to give, transfer the contents of your blender to a fine mesh sieve that's been lined with cheesecloth.
4. Add another half cup of plain water to the jar of your food processor and give it a quick spin just to get every last bit that was left behind. Add that to the rest of the fragrant pile of coconut.
5. Now squeeze the bejesus out of your coconut. And I do mean the bejesus. Squeeze until can’t get another drop out. You will be left with a bunch of dry, VERY dry, and pretty bland and tasteless, shredded coconut. You could discard this, or dry it and use it in soup or as topping for stir fry …
6. Transfer your beautiful coconut milk to an airtight glass jar or container and keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
