Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 cups hot filtered water

Instructions

  1. Add 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut and 2 cups of hot (not boiling) water to the blender. Blend on high for approximately 1 minute until the coconut is in tiny pieces, like pulp.

  2. Strain the mixture through a cotton muslin, cheesecloth, or tea towel into a large bowl. Squeeze all the liquid out of the cloth (careful, it's hot!). Allow to cool.

  3. Divide into jars and store in the fridge or freezer until ready to use. Stays fresh in the fridge for 1 week, in the freezer for 6 months. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
