Easy Thai Coconut Milk, Homemade, Step-by-Step

Make your own fresh coconut milk and you won't have to worry about the preservatives  in the canned stuff.  Here's a video demonstration from You Tube:

The great thing about making fresh coconut milk in your own kitchen is that you can add ingredients according to your own family's likening, for example:

• Sweeteners like coconut sugar
• Flavorings like vanilla extract
• Fruits like mango 

Try the fresh coconut milk in fruit smoothies and frozen like whipped cream.

But first you've got to crack open the coconut to get started on making the milk.    Personally, I've never been able to crack open a coconut as easily as the lady in the video.   I've got to practice more!
