COCONUT MILK

Measure coconut flakes and hot water into a blender, Process for 45 seconds to 1 minute and repeat

Pour through a mesh colander first to get most of the coconut out, and then squeeze through a towel or several thicknesses of cheesecloth to get remaining pieces of coconut out.

Flavor options- add in after all coconut has been strained out: ½ tsp vanilla extract, ½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries, 2 tsp cocoa powder + ½ tsp vanilla.

Drink immediately or store in the fridge. Should be used in 3-4 days after making for best flavor and texture.

Since there are no preservatives or fillers, the "cream" of the coconut milk may separate on the top if stored in the fridge. Just shake or stir before using.
