Sweet and creamy, this Easy Homemade Coconut Milk is super simple to whip up. Enjoy it with cereal, in coffee, or however you drink milk!
Are you a big milk drinker? If you're anything like me, you drink milk ALL THE TIME (non-dairy milk, of course). I pour milk in my turmeric lattes, use it when I make oatmeal, add it to nice cream, or just drink it by the glass! It's delicious!!
I used to go through carton after carton of almond or flax milk each week. But I recently found out that I might be intolerant to the chemicals and additives that milk manufacturers add to their plant milks. Yikes!
The additives in store-bought milk make my stomach hurt but I didn't want to give up drinking milk altogether. So what's a girl to do?! Make her own milk of course!
I've experimented with almond milk and oat milk in the past, but honestly, I found them frustrating and messy. You have to soak the almonds or oats, drain them, blend them, strain them, clean the nut milk bag, ... too many steps. I needed something sustainable. Something that I could make regularly and easily. Then I had an idea: coconut milk!
You can buy coconut milk in a can. If you buy the right brand it has no additives. If you want, you could just drink the coconut milk from the can. It's delicious! But it's pretty high in fat. Now don't get me wrong, I 100% support eating healthy fats. But I drink milk so often that I wanted something lighter that wouldn't be super filling when I drink it multiple times a day. So I decided to mix it with some water to create a lighter version.
Yes, you just read that correctly. All you need to do to make this Easy Homemade Coconut Milk is to mix it with water. (That's why it's called easy.)
I almost feel guilty about sharing such a simple recipe. I mean it doesn't get much more basic than mixing coconut milk and water. But it's too delicious not to share. And it has NO added chemicals. The ingredients are literally coconut and water. That's it. No terrible ingredients that will upset your digestive system. No chemicals. Just real ingredients.
This Coconut Milk has a deliciously sweet flavor that works perfectly in so many recipes.
How can you use homemade coconut milk? Exactly how you would use any store bought plant-based milk: with cookies, in nice cream cake, as a coffee creamer, in soup, with oats. You name it!
Jesus, thank you for giving us real food, free from chemicals and additives, food that we can enjoy just as you intended. Amen.
