Equipment

1 Hand Grater
1 Stand Mixer
Water
1 Mesh Strainer
1 Muslin Cloth

Ingredients

2 Desiccated Coconuts
Water

Instructions

Using a hammer or heavy meat tenderizer, hit heavily through the imaginary line in the middle of the coconut. Crack open the coconut and drain the liquid out of the coconut.
With a sharp knife, cut through the coconut meat diagonally and vertically to help with removing the meat from the coconut shelves.
Remove the coconut meat. With the help of a knife, try to release the coconut meat first from the side of the cups, pulling outwards.
Using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, clean the brown layer of the coconut meat thoroughly. Wash the coconut if needed, leaving you with beautiful white-only coconut pieces.
With a hand grater, grate the coconut into shreds. You will get the perfect shreds for milk using the smaller holes.
Add 2 cups of shredded coconut and 1 litre (4 cups) of room temperature water into a stand mixer or blender and blend.
Pour the coconut milk and strain it through a muslin cloth, milk bag, or cheesecloth, squeezing as much of the milk as possible.

Notes

Ways - you can make coconut milk from dried coconut shreds or coconut butter.
Pulp - do not throw the leftover pulp. It can be used in other recipes.
No milk bag - use strainer covered with cheese cloth.
