- 2 cups (~160 g) shredded unsweetened coconut
- 4 cups (940 ml) water (see instructions)

Instructions for the Blender Method
Heat water until warm (not boiling).
Add shredded coconut in high speed blender and add the warm water.
Blend on high speed for a few minutes until thick and creamy.
For a creamier milk, use less water.
Get a nut milk bag ready (a fine cheese cloth will also work) and pour the milk through the nut milk bag to remove the fiber.
Pour in a glass jar. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator (with a lid) for up to 5 days.
Instructions for the Vegan Milker Method
Heat water until warm (not boiling).
Add shredded coconut and warm water to the ”vegan milker”.
