Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup coconut grated
  • 2 ½ cups hot water

Instructions
 

  • Place coconut and water into a blender and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Blend the mixture on high for 5 minutes.
  • Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the coconut mixture into a container.
  • If using a cheesecloth use your hands to squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • Put a lid on the container and store in the fridge.
  • Within 24 hours, you will find that separation has occurred.
  • The separation is the coconut cream that has settled at the top.
  • The coconut cream can be scooped out and used separately in recipes.

  • You can again use up the coconut cream and pour the milk and cream into a blender and blend until smooth. This will produce a full cream coconut milk which can be used in any recipe that calls for coconut milk.
