Tip - HOW TO EXTRACT COCONUT MILK

First Method

First Milk

Freshly scraped or grated coconut or very nicely cut desiccated coconut is moistened with sufficient water to cover it, placed on the fire, brought to a boil and then pressed through a strainer

Second Milk

The squeezed husk with more water is put back on the fire and the process repeated.


Second Method

First Milk

Pour boiling water just sufficient to moistened cover the grated kernel of a fresh coconut or an equal quantity of very finely desiccated coconut. Let it stand for 20 minutes and then squeeze the milk out of it.

Second Milk

Repeat the process as for the first milk

Note: If equal parts of cow’s milk and water are used it will enhance the mellowness and richness of the coconut milk. In extracting coconut milk use the ordinary potato presser, as it is so much more effective than the method of squeezing out with hand


Third Method

Coconut grated or scraped mixed with sufficient water just to cover can even be put in a grinder or blender and squeezed out through a sieve./ chalni. The first milk is the first time you squeeze and take out the coconut milk

For the second milk add a little more water again put in the grinder or blender and squeezed again a second time to obtain the second coconut milk
