Ingredients
- 2 cup water
- 2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
Directions
In a small, covered saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the coconut, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 1 hour.
Once the coconut has steeped, pour the contents of the pan into a dishtowel-lined bowl. Gather all four corners of the towel and lift up the coconut mass, allowing the liquid to drip into the bowl beneath. Twist and squeeze the towel to harvest as much liquid as you can. Discard the solids. This liquid is your milk, and it’s ready to be used in cooking.
