No complicated equipment needed! Here’s a simple method that has proven effective:
Grate the fresh coconut flesh (or use organic, additive-free shredded coconut, available at specialty stores).
Add warm water (about 300 ml for 150 g of coconut) and blend to obtain a smooth puree.
Filter the mixture using a fine cloth or cheesecloth, pressing well to extract all the “coconut milk.”
Let the milk sit in a covered bowl at room temperature for 24 hours.
Separate the oil that naturally forms on the surface. You can also place the bowl in the refrigerator to speed up the separation.
Gently collect the oil and store it in an airtight jar, away from light.
It’s as comforting as making your own homemade bread, with the satisfaction of controlling what you apply to your skin or add to your dishes.
