Instructions
- Add coconut, 3 or 4 cups of water,, and any optional add ins into the high-speed blender.
- Blend for 2 minutes or until it is well combined.
- Place the nut back in a bowl, pitcher or large measuring cup
- Pour the mixture into the nut bag, (you can also use a cheesecloth but I think the nut bag is easiest)
- Squeeze the bag gently to get all the liquid out of the pulp.
- You can save the pulp to use in recipes or to add to smoothies or no bake energy bites.
- Pour into a pitcher and refrigerate for up to 5 days. (the milk may separate while in the refrigerator. That is completely normal. Just give a little shake to mix it a little)
