Creamy, Toasted Coconut Milk

Be sure to toast your coconut well (but not burned!) if you want the flavor to be extra pronounced.

1 1/2 cups toasted coconut
4 cups water
fine grain sea or Himalayan salt

natural sweetener to taste, optional

In a blender, combine the coconut, water, and salt. Blend, and then blend some more. Strain through a nut bag (makes it easy!) or fine strainer. Sweeten to taste if you like, I usually use a few drops of liquid stevia, or maple syrup. Refrigerate.

Makes 3 cups.
