Step 1

In a Vitamix, combine the shredded coconut and boiled water.

Step 2

Blend for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour mixture through a sieve or nut milk bag to separate liquid from coconut pieces.

Step 4

Store coconut milk in the refrigerator to use as needed.

Step 5

Either drill holes in the eyes of the coconut or use a knife to poke a hole in the eyes of the coconut. Drain the coconut water and set aside.

Step 6

Take one coconut and find the seam that goes around it. Cover with a kitchen towel and hold still. Split the coconut open along the seam using a hammer. Keep turning the coconut while hitting it with a hammer along the seam until you go all the way around the coconut.

Step 7

Once the coconut is open, scoop out the coconut meat and set aside. Repeat for all coconuts.

Step 8

Rinse the coconut meat to remove all the brown outer pieces. In a blender, combine the coconut meat and coconut water. The coconut water volume can vary, so add boiled, filtered water to the blender as needed. I find a ratio of about 1 cup of coconut meat to 2 cups of coconut water or filtered water works best.

Step 9

Blend coconut meat and water for about 2-3 minutes. Pour mixture through a sieve or nut milk bag to separate liquid from coconut pieces. Store coconut milk in the refrigerator to use as needed.
