LEARN HOW TO MAKE THE MOST AMAZING FRESH COCONUT MILK RECIPE AT HOME!
LAY HO MA (how's it going in Cantonese)! I used to run a nut milk business at one point and even though I don't run that anymore, I still make this coconut cashew milk every single week because it is unlike anything you can buy instore. Join me in this episode and learn how to make the most incredible fresh coconut cashew milk recipe right at home!
Ingredients:
250g coconut meat
6 + 2 cups water
pinch of salt
1/4 cup raw cashews
Directions:
1. Carefully crack open the coconut using a hammer hitting around the shell. Do this over a large bowl to catch the water (up to you to discard or strain out to drink)
2. Very carefully use a sturdy butter knife to make incisions around the coconut meat (sort of looks like pizza slices). Then, carefully pop out the pieces of coconut meat by sliding the knife in between the meat and the shell
3. Blend the coconut meat with 6 cups of water and a pinch of salt. For best results, use a high powered blender and blend on high for 3.5-4min (it should be warm to the touch)
4. Line a large jug or bowl with a nut milk bag. Pour the coconut milk through and stain out the coconut milk (you can keep the coconut meat for other recipes)
5. Rinse out the blender and add the cashews and 2 cups of water. Blend on high for about 30secs
6. Pour the cashew milk in with the coconut milk. That's it! Remember to refrigerate the milk and enjoy for up to 6 days. It's natural for the milk to look separated, simply shake the bottle before use

I live in Costa Rica and we have 2 coconut trees loaded with fruit. I love fresh green coconut water and I’m so excited now to try making my own coconut milk. Thanks for the recipe!

[@andyatari]

Awesome, I've been using your Almond milk recipe video for my morning espresso and pour-overs for a few months now. It's by far the best home made almond milk recipe and it's much much better than all the store bought ones I've tried.

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

That is wonderful to hear and makes me smile to know how much you are enjoying. You’ll have to let me know if you give this a go 👨🏻‍🍳🙌🏻

To make it easier to get the coconut out of the shell I freeze the coconut before. You just have to open one of the holes and get the water out. Freeze the coconut for 2 days and crack it open. The nut will shrink and loose from the shell.

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

Very interesting 🙌🏻

Hi Wil! I missed seeing you on Sunday! Ok, coconut milk is wonderful! I use it all the time in my curry recipes and rice dishes. It adds richness and sweetness to all my food. Thank you again...and again.❤🙏 Tip: The kernel comes out easier if you warm the outside of the shells a bit...over your flame.

Thank you for this. You make it look so easy, probably because you are professional. I tried cracking open a coconut once 3 years ago and it was a method I used by putting the coconut in an oven then cracking it where the eyes are, that took ages and getting the coconut meat out took me 3 hours. I never bought coconut again.

I live in Malaysia and we have lots of coconut trees. However, only until recently, I have only used the coconut milk ( we called it “santan “ in Malaysia) to cook curry dishes. Nowadays we have many coconut drink stalls that use young coconut meat to make coconut shakes with added fruits like avocado, mango, etc . Coconut shakes is now my favourite drink. So yummy.

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

Sounds delicious 🙌🏻

Depends on how long you blend it and if you presoak them. A quick strain is never bad, though.
