How to Make COCONUT OIL | Traditional Method

In this video, Mommy shares how to make traditional Cold-Pressed, Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil and Pure Coconut Oil. It was a team effort- Narie husked some coconuts and Uncle Mukesh husked, cracked and grinded most of the coconuts. I hope this video is helpful to you!
Mom mentioned that if the oil is made during full moon, the yield is greater. What are your thoughts on this? I haven't tested out the theory yet, but I will in the future. It's also dependent on the type of coconut and how mature it is. We only got 1 1/2 cups of oil from approximately 15 coconuts.
🗒You will need:
🥥10-15 Dry or Mature Coconuts
🥥A Coconut Mill or Grinder (a grater or blender can also be used).
We bought this mill at Fair and Square in Chaguanas, and it can also be found on Amazon (amzn.to/2NPEQCo)
🥥About 10-12 cups of water (or enough to make and extract the milk)

My mom said that it does yield more around full moon time ..her mom said so.....great job Reshmi mom . thanks for the lovely video ...

[@SocaSpice73]

Nice job. But on another note if you live on the way to a cremation site, then you standing all de time 😆😍

[@TasteofTrini]

@@SocaSpice73 Yes, often!

[@TasteofTrini]

@@wendyramkissoon2017 Nice! Thank you for responding! I will have to make some for full moon then.

[@tubbiecherie]

this method is not cold-pressed it is hot-pressed because of the the temperature needed to get the oil

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

A big thank you to your mom for demonstrating how to make coconut oil! The old fashioned way is the best way to go most of the time. My grandmother says when she was younger in Guyana and her father and uncles picked coconuts, they would come home with over 50 coconuts and the whole day would be spent making coconut oil. They did it similar to your mom as well, by letting the milk sit before boiling it. Such a process but definitely a labor of love. I have so much appreciation for this video. Thanks for sharing Reshmi!

[@TasteofTrini]

Agreed! It was definitely a labor of love. Lots of hands went into the making of this oil. Mom learned this from seeing her parents and grandparents and she wanted to share it. Glad you appreciate the video! Thank you for watching!

[@harrietallen9706]

This video was amazing thanks to all those who participated in this video. The moon does play an important part in our daily lives, my mom would only trim our hair when the moon is growing she said “it would make our hair grow faster and healthier and it is very true.

[@LazyCookPete]

Dory loves to be in the thick of things! Great information and demonstration of the making of coconut oil. Loving the chulha action!

[@TasteofTrini]

Yes, so true! Glad you like, remember I told you months ago to make that chulha in your backyard lol hope you do it next summer!

[@LazyCookPete]

You'll have to remind me, you know what my memory is like!

[@Nwokoafrica]

Amazing video. I and my wife use this method too and is motivating to see mommy doing this. It will encourage us on our journey to traditionally produce coconut oil for commercial purposes. Again your mother is a virtious woman who understands tradition. Standing when the funeral passed for last respect and the roasting of the potatoes made me even love your video more. I am proud of you all and I pray for more strength and inspiration.

[@SG-dp6rt]

Hi Resh and family, I used to make coconut oil this way, years ago as a teenager. My grandfather taught me and we used it for our skin and hair. I don't make it anymore because it's a lot of work. Thank you, your mom, your brother and uncle for sharing how they do it.

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey! It certainly is a lot of work but it's a labour of love for sure. I love rubbing the oil on my skin and hair, it's the best. Thank you for watching!

[@lisamentz9694]

I love this video this is how my grandmother made her coconut oil. I couldn't wait for it to cool to eat the brown crisp to the bottom of the pot, we use to add a little brown sugar to it yummy. Thank you for bringing back some fantastic memories of my grandmother.

Thank u for sharing this video. Always wanted to learn the traditional way of making coconut oil. I use it once a week in my hair before shampooing and conditioning.

[@TasteofTrini]

Glad it's helpful! I use it every Sunday too, it's the best for skin and hair. That's what our ancestors used, no chemicals.

[@suzych]

Thanks for this detailed vid. I always wanted to know d exact procedure. So wonderful. I bet it smells divine. Thanks to your beautiful mom too Resh. You all are d best!

omg wow very natural way of making things. I like the ceramic stove you have to cook that oil! It's so cool and very traditional.

[@Abbystarrrrr]

I always make my coconut oil. But from.now on the last residue after making the oil I'm gonna add to some muffin batter or something. Fyi. I also have learned from my grandparents to stand when a funeral passes. Tks for the full moon tip. I follow the moon for everything planting. Cutting my hair etc etc.

[@SocaSpice73]

And when baby coming as well

[@Abbystarrrrr]

@@SocaSpice73 Really? Stand when baby coming? Well if anyone is on the end end watching labor no way you can sit down watching that

The best coconut oil ...nothing added ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👌🏽

[@TasteofTrini]

Agreed! When you make it at home, you know it's pure.

[@exoticbeautybrina2156]

That's a lot of coconut left in the shells using that mill. It's better to dig out the coconut from the shells and grater them or blend them. Plus there are ppl out there that can make you a coconut grating mill that is much faster and you don't waste any coconut. In St. Vincent we don't waste coconut at all.

[@CrixyTnT]

Awesome one always :)

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you for watching!

[@bofhvp]

How many coconuts were used to make the oil ? How long does the coconut milk last, say in the fridge or freezer if it can be frozen ?

[@SocaSpice73]

The video stated about 15 coconuts

[@TasteofTrini]

Approximately 15. I don't suggest putting the milk in tbe freezer. What you can do, is dig the kernel out and let it dry and form the "copra" and then make the oil out of that.

[@bofhvp]

Thank you 😊

[@kevinbeharrilal1609]

what happened to the sweet potato

[@blessedthanksgiving457]

We grew up using a GREATER, then BLENDER.

[@vaughniceelias7385]

This is nice ❤

[@sarnathkerala8160]

Wow thank you all the ppl who share this treasure recipe, how long to boil? I know the colors relevant

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey, the higher the heat, the darker it will get and the quicker it will finish. If you want a clear coconut oil, leave it on a very low heat and it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour.

[@sarnathkerala8160]

This is a classic I cud not recall how mammy did it but the aroma was to die for ty ty ty
