Hot pasta and tomato sauce…
Homemade Coconut milk for cereal
Why buy non dairy milk from the supermarkets, when you can make your own?
There are a variety of Vegan milk available, but I am yet to find any without additives.
So, I have decided to start making mine. At least I will know what I am drinking.
The good news is that everyone can make it because it’s easy and quick.
All you need is fresh or dessicated coconut, hot water, blender and sieve.
Blend coconut and hot water, then sieve. It cannot get any easier than that.
Enjoy warm or cold!
