Coconut milk is so quick and easy to make and nothing beats a warm, frothy cup of milk on a cold day! I love making my own nut milk, as I know exactly what goes into it and know it won't contain any weird preservatives.
Nut milk is free from lactose, dairy, soy, nuts and grains, so it's a great alternative to cows milk, for those who have intolerance's or are vegan.
There are so many health benefits that come with drinking coconut milk, which is why I try incorporate a little bit into my diet each day. It is known to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, build muscle and help burn fat, prevent fatigue and keeps you feeling full for a longer period of time!
Another benefit of coconut milk is that it is so diverse! You can use it in curries, mix with tea / coffee, juices and smoothies, enjoy it with porridge or freeze it to make milky ice-pops!
I'd love to hear how you enjoy yours!
Ingredients:
1 cup desiccated coconut
2 cups waterMethod:
Add the coconut and water into a pan and bring to the boil.
Remove from the hob and let cool. Then transfer into a food processor and blitz for a couple of minutes.
Strain the coconut through a cheesecloth or a very fine sieve, squeezing as much of the juice as you can from the coconut.
Transfer into a mug and enjoy warm or keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
N.B. you can add maple syrup, vanilla essence, blended raspberries, blueberries or strawberries to add extra flavour.
