Coconut milk is surprisingly easy to make if you have the right tools. Plus then you have some delicious sweetness on your hands!
This milk substitution is incredibly useful, not just as a beverage. You can use it to make yogurt, but you can also make coffee creamer and even eggnog for the holidays. It’s not cow milk. But it’s incredibly wholesome and a great substitution for those looking for a dairy free alternative.
Follow along with this video, and let’s make some milk together. Share your experience in the comments, and we can troubleshoot those darn coconuts too. And don’t forget to watch my other videos to learn how to make wholesome foods yourself.
Watch: How to make coconut milk
i followed your written directions below (4c coconut 2 cups water) and my vitamix overheated 🙁 In the video you say 4 c coconut and 3.5 – 4 cups liquid. After it cooled down, I added another 1.5 c of water and it was much better.
Do you have anything written out, instead of a video?? thanks
4 Cups Raw Coconut Meat
2 Cups Coconut Water or Filtered Water
Blend coconut meat and water together in blender or food processor for 2-4 minutes or until meat is blended with water. Use a cheese cloth to filter the coconut fiber from the coconut milk. Squeeze out all excess milk.
You can use the left over coconut fiber to make coconut flour. All you have to do is dehydrate the coconut fiber and blend it until a flour.
Could you use a juicer to make the milk? That would take away the need for a cheesecloth I think.
Can I use shredded coconut or does it have to be coconut meat?
Anne » Yes you can use dry shredded coconut too!
About how many cups of meat can come out of one coconut?
And about how much flour do you get after using the leftover fibers from this recipe?
I need to know how many coconuts to buy 🙂
Thanks!
I was wondering if you could use the leftover meat to make butter?
The leftover meat doesn’t contain any fat, so it will not work for making coconut butter. You can use it to make coconut flour though. 🙂
Hi, thank you the recipe it was easy to do following our recipe thnk you so much looking forward for new ideas and recipes
I wish I knew what you’re saying. There’s no actual text-based article, just a bloody video. People’s bloody obsessed with videoing everything, and we deafs are left behind, wondering what’s what. I’m fed up. Bugger this!
All I wanna do is make some coconut butter and milk, I’m sick of rubbish butter and milk that makes me sick. I want real foods!
Hi Alexander. I’m sorry I didn’t have a written text up. Here is the recipe…

No need to be rude about it. If she didn’t have it in writing, then maybe you should have searched somewhere else, or asked her politely. Or have gone to the library and researched it yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Informative AND a well-made video. Good job!
