A new alternative in plant milks is this coconut milk. A super creamy milk that you can make with fresh coconut or grated coconut (being even cheaper than fresh).
As always making homemade vegetable milks will always be the best way to consume something healthy, natural without additives or preservatives. This is without a doubt the most notable advantage of making plant milks at home. The second advantage is that it is much cheaper to do it than to buy it. And the third is that you can manage the density of it according to what type of use you are going to give it, whether it is to prepare a special recipe or simply to drink.
With the same coconut milk recipe you can also achieve a coconut cream to make a rich coconut cream chantilly. Once prepared after a few hours, you can see that there is a clear division of water from coconut fat. To join coconut milk again, shake well before consuming. If you want to get the cream, just remove the top part (it is the coconut cream) with a spoon and beat with a little sugar to achieve the chantilly cream. You can flavor with vanilla essence if you want. It is more than clear that to get a good amount of cream, you must produce a lot of coconut milk.
You can also take advantage of the remaining pulp to make coconut flour and have to make other types of vegan recipes. As you will see, nothing is thrown away, everything is used to make this delicious homemade coconut milk.
