Coconut Milk

This coconut milk is so simple to make.  We don't add any flavorings or sweeteners to it.  We use it solely for baking, and it works well and adds a nice subtle coconut flavor to recipes.

2 cups fine flaked coconut
4 cups warm water

Place coconut and water in Vitamix.  Stir and let sit for 30 minutes.

Blend for 3 minutes.

Strain through a fine sieve or a nut bag into a large mason jar.

Cool, cover, and refrigerate.  Shake well before using.
