Learn how to make coconut milk at home in a blender in 5-minutes! Just two simple ingredients - shredded coconut and water. Grab your blender and let's go!
Place shredded coconut, water and any desired add-ins to a high powered blender and blend until creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Give it a taste and add any additional add-ins to taste. You can also add more water if it's too creamy. Give the mixture another quick pulse.
Pour into a mixing bowl or cup lined with a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer. Squeeze out the remaining milk from the milk bag. You'll be left with just the fine pulp from the coconut flakes.
Store coconut milk in a glass jar with an airtight lid in the fridge for 3-4 days. Use the milk in any recipe as you would canned coconut milk. You can also use it in your hot and cold beverages and baked goods. Note: You may notice some separation after storing coconut milk in the fridge. Make sure to give the jar a good shake before using it. Or, throw it back in the blender for a few seconds to mix it again before using.
