Coconut Milk

Depending on your diet requirements or the time you have:

Fill a quart jar halfway full of coconut shreds.

Cover with boiling water to the top of the jar and let soak for 30 mins.

or

Cover with cold water to the top of the jar and let sit for 2 hours

or

Cover with cold water to the top of the jar and let sit overnight.

30 mins later, or 2hours later, or in the morning dump the soaked coconut mix with water into the blender fill the blender the rest of the way with water. If I have raisin soak water at this time I will add it also. Add vanilla and cinnamon to taste and give that blender a whirl. If you prefer your coconut milk to be sweeter you can add honey, maple syrup, soaked dates, soaked date or raisin water  before blending. 

Depending on how thick you like your milk and what you are using it for you can thin with more water at this point or strain and enjoy.

We add coconut milk to our pancake mixture, pour it over our sprouted breakfasts, use it to make ice cream, or just drink it.
