how to make coconut milk, leche de coco

[thander28210]

12 o'clock at night and i have spent 30 minutes watching coconuts -.-

I don't like heating them very much but there's a soft brown layer between the shell & meat and you can separate them gently with a strong sharp knife... mine just came off in only five pieces, just shave the brown layer off the meat w/ a potato peeler :)

@Pandabearkt

This is correct you can do it without burning them , just cracking them open and then removig the brown tough skin with a sharp knife.

Nice vid..just wish to add,that coconut milk CAN be drunk straight away,there are dessert recepies,ice creams that can be made from raw cocomilk.its a great source of fat.it shouldnt taste bitter at all,it has normaly a nice creamy texture :)

[pachigallo]

NO, NO, NO...this is to cook!

[BBbramBB]

[pachigallo]

@sulivel

[nickdandruff]

i try to follow the video instructions.But i fail to separate the brown part from the coconut flesh. How did you do it? maybe ur burn it for sometime?? am i missing anything here?

[pachigallo]

@nickdandruff

yes you burn it for some time and if it doesnt come off use a knife

[AZNjujube210]

can u just drink the coconut milk plain?

it looks so good! xDD

[BFac]

@AZNjujube210 its extremely bitter. at least the one i just opened a few minutes ago is. that's why i'm watching this.

[pachigallo]

@BFac

if the coconut water is bitter then the coconut has gone bad

[pachigallo]

@AZNjujube210 NOPE!

[mkkm7]

How many days does it last in the refrigerator?

[pachigallo]

not more than two if you don´t open it too often.

[Brightstar27]

Hey that looks very nice. ^^

[champjcp995]

i thought coconut milk came from the actual coconut

[nickdandruff]

i try to follow the video.but i fail to separate the black skin from the white meat. How you do it? How long you fire the coconut?

[pachigallo]

@nickdandruff

you can use a paring knife!

[pachigallo]

@champjcp995

coconut water does, the milk comes is extracted from the flesh

[kj143jk]

Thank you

[amsgal]

[Jewell262]

[volacious]

ummmm looool

[MaxSafeheaD]

How long do you heat the coconut for?

[pachigallo]

Place the whole coconut in a 400º F oven for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven; hit hard with a hammer to break it open.

[MaxSafeheaD]

Thanks very much =D

[thugricanz]
