Due to these great benefits, we have the ideal recipe to make creamy coconut milk and how to extract its milk. Take note and go ahead and prepare this recipe.
How to prepare coconut milk?
Ingredients
400 grams of coconut pulp.
400 grams of water.
For this recipe we will consider the same amount of water as the amount of coconut you have.
Steps for elaboration
1. To start you need the coconut pulp. A trick that will help you remove the pulp quickly is to give the coconut a few forceful blows.
2. Then, make a hole in the shell and remove all the juice, placing the coconut in a glass. Wait a few seconds for all the juice to come out.
3. Now, open the whole coconut so that you can separate the pulp from the shell.
4. Then, it is time to use the whisk to chop the pulp.
5. As it chops, add the water little by little.
This will form a kind of dough, thanks to the mixture of the oil in the coconut and the water.
6. When you have integrated all the water, let it rest for a few minutes and strain to separate the water.
7. Thoroughly dry the meat with a spoon. And the dried pulp is the coconut milk that you will use for all the preparations you want.
How much milk can you get from coconut?
To make coconut milk there are those who use different milks that coconut usually releases. One is known as "first milk" and the other is "second milk." Next, I'll tell you how to extract it:
First milk
This is achieved by grating the pulp and a kitchen cloth very similar to the house. This cloth is squeezed and that the cloth gets squeezed by the "first milk".
According to coconut, this can be a very little liquid or a fairly thick liquid.
Second milk
Also, known as clear milk. Water is added to the pulp and the liquid is extracted with the cloth. There are cultures that have developed such skill that they can easily remove the milk from the coconut with their hands.
There are professionally finished dishes that require the use of both milks. The second to start and the first for some kind of boiled or similar.
Any of the milk you have expressed requires rest. Over time the milk separates and creates a thick, thick layer. This is known as "nata de coco" or "coconut cream".
