* Can be made from fresh or dried coconut or purchased bottled. Do
not use the canned coconut mix for mixed drinks as it is very sweet
and different
If using fresh coconut, cut coconut meat into 1′ pieces and place equal
amounts of coconut and hot water in food processor or blender. Puree at
high speed for a couple of minutes, let steep for 30 minutes. Then
pour into a strainer set over a bowl. Press on the pulp and squeeze
by the handful to extract as milk as possible. Pour the milk through
a fine-mesh strainer. For dried coconut: use 1 cup unsweetened, dried
coconut with 1 1/2 c hot tap water. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
Puree one minute and proceed as above. Will keep up to three days
refrigerated and indefinetely, if frozen.
