This video shows you how to make fresh coconut milk and coconut desiccants from raw coconuts. First, pierce the soft part of the coconut to extract the coconut water, then use a hammer to crack open the hard shell and remove the flesh. After heating the flesh in the microwave to make it easier to peel, blend it with water in a food processor and strain it through a fine sieve to make rich coconut milk. The remaining pulp is dried in a frying pan to make fragrant coconut desiccants. Homemade coconut milk can be drunk as is, and coconut desiccants can be used as a topping for baked goods and curries, allowing you to enjoy a taste of the tropics at home.
