homemade coconut milk
Save money by making your own coconut milk!
I absolutely love cooking with coconut milk. Some of my all-time favourite dishes are Thai, Vietnamese, or Indian inspired curries, stir-fries, or soups with a coconut milk base. The coconut helps to mellow out the spices and lends a warm, tropical feel to the recipe. My pantry is usually stocked with several cans of the stuff.
As much as possible I try to use fresh foods or make things myself when it makes sense. It had never occurred to me before that I could make my own coconut milk but the thought struck me the other day so I did a Google and sure enough, homemade coconut milk is a thing. Thank you, Google, for showing me the way!
For a silky smooth coconut milk, you’ll need to filter out the sediment. If you’re making this coconut milk to drink, you’ll definitely want to filter it. Unless you’re the type of person who drinks the extra-pulp orange juice! Maybe you’d like your coconut milk a little on the “pulpy” side. The best and easiest way to filter it is to use a nut milk bag. You could use cheesecloth but a nut milk bag is reusable and therefore a) cheaper in the long run and b) better for the environment! Amazon has a wide selection.
