How to make coconut cream and coconut milk

Place 1 cup of water to boil before cutting the coconut into small chunks.

Cut into small pieces and rinse.

Place a blender in the sink. When dealing with very hot liquids, this is a safer method than having it on the counter. Any appliance with a vertical blade can also be used.

Carefully pour the boiling water into the blender and cover tightly. Grate until fine. Remember that the glass container will be hot.

Pour into a bottle and add another cup of boiling water. Leave overnight in the fridge.

Using a very fine sieve/strainer, pour into a bowl and press firmly to extract all the liquid.

Place the strained liquid in a bowl and put in the fridge. The cream will rise to the top and solidify and it will be easy to remove from the milk.
