Coconut Milk Recipe
Caution! I do not personally recommend putting a coconut on a flaming stove - too many accidents can happen here.
It's probably easier to just do the oven method:
Use a sharp tool to poke thru the eyes on your coconut.
Drain the coconut water into a glass or bowl.
Place the coconut in a shallow pan and put it in your oven (350 to 375 Degree F) for about 20 minutes or until you hear the coconut crack.
Carefully remove the heated coconut from your oven and give it a whack to crack the coconut open.
When the coconut is cool, score the meat with an appropriately shaped sharp knife.
Scoop meat out with a spoon and peel off any brown skin.
Your coconut meat is now ready for grating to make coconut milk.
You can blend your grated coconut meat with coconut water or filtered water.
Almond Milk Recipe
Tips for Making Almond Milk
Raw nuts will give you better nutrition and soaking your almonds overnight will help to remove anti-nutrients.
There is quite some controversy over obtaining raw almonds - especially in California!
Make sure you know your sources and you may want to look into purchasing raw Spanish Almonds for a change.
A Rice Milk Recipe
All you'll need for this rice milk recipe is Organic Brown Rice and Water!
Ingredients:
1 cup of cooked and warm brown rice
4 to 5 cups of warm filtered water
Optional:
Sweetener such as honey, stevia, etc.
Flavorings such as vanilla, spices, etc.
Instructions:
Add rice, water, and optional ingredients to a high speed blender.
Blend until smooth consistency is reached.
Strain with cheesecloth, etc.
Enjoy and store remainder in refrigerator for a few days.
Tips for Making Rice Milk
I would soak my brown rice for at least 8 hours or overnight before cooking rice. This helps to eliminate anti-nutrients and makes your rice much more digestible.
You can even make raw rice milk, but I think that cooked rice milk may be more digestible.
