Method
Coconut Milk
Place 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut and 2 cups of warm water in a blender and blend on high for about 1 minute.
Stop the blender, let the mixture settle briefly, then blend for another minute.
Pour the blended mixture into a nut‑milk bag or fine strainer set over a bowl and squeeze to extract the milk.
Return the strained coconut shreds to the blender, add another 2 cups of warm water, and repeat the blending and straining process to obtain a second batch of milk.
Coconut Flour
Spread the collected coconut shreds on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate overnight at 115°F (≈115°F).
Once fully dried, break the coconut shreds into a fine powder using a food processor or coffee grinder; store in a glass jar for later use.
