Traditional Coconut Milk

• 2 cups fresh coconut, shredded
• 1 14 cups hot water (or as needed)

1. In a blender (or food processor fitted with the metal blade), process the coconut and hot water for about 2 minutes.
2. Let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Strain the mixture through a coffee filter into a small bowl, pressing down hard on the solid grated coconut flesh to squeeze out all the liquid.
4. For thinner milk, add a little more water.
5. Use immediately in any recipe calling for coconut milk.
6. This does not store well because it loses flavor quickly.
