Many people don't understand where coconut milk comes from. It is not enough just to buy the nut itself.
It is necessary
- Coconut - 1 pc.
- Knife.
- Corkscrew.
- Canned food opener.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the coconut first. It has three dark spots on its surface. These are places where the rind is very thin. It can be easily removed using a corkscrew. At the same time, there is a good opportunity to check whether you bought a quality nut. If a clear liquid with a pleasant smell pours out of it, then you are not mistaken in your choice.
Step 2
But this liquid is not milk yet. It just needs to be drained, although you can drink it. It tastes like radish juice with honey. Then you need to try to open the coconut. A good way is the tapping method - for example, with the handle of a knife. Opening one of the holes, you will see the flesh of the coconut - white, like a cream, forming a fairly thick layer. It has a characteristic odor. Here it is necessary to get it, preferably in its entirety. You will have to try, since the peel of the nut is quite dense. All means are good, but safety precautions are best observed. But some are not shy about using a hammer.
Step 3
If you've gotten your hands on the white matter, it's time to get your coconut milk. It is extracted by pressing. You can just squeeze a little mass in your hand and you will see coconut milk. Strain the resulting liquid to eliminate unnecessary additions, and you get a natural exotic product.
