LEARN HOW TO MAKE THE MOST AMAZING FRESH COCONUT MILK RECIPE AT HOME!

LAY HO MA (how's it going in Cantonese)! I used to run a nut milk business at one point and even though I don't run that anymore, I still make this coconut cashew milk every single week because it is unlike anything you can buy instore. Join me in this episode and learn how to make the most incredible fresh coconut cashew milk recipe right at home!

Ingredients:
250g coconut meat
6 + 2 cups water
pinch of salt
1/4 cup raw cashews

Directions:
1. Carefully crack open the coconut using a hammer hitting around the shell. Do this over a large bowl to catch the water (up to you to discard or strain out to drink)
2. Very carefully use a sturdy butter knife to make incisions around the coconut meat (sort of looks like pizza slices). Then, carefully pop out the pieces of coconut meat by sliding the knife in between the meat and the shell
3. Blend the coconut meat with 6 cups of water and a pinch of salt. For best results, use a high powered blender and blend on high for 3.5-4min (it should be warm to the touch)
4. Line a large jug or bowl with a nut milk bag. Pour the coconut milk through and stain out the coconut milk (you can keep the coconut meat for other recipes)
5. Rinse out the blender and add the cashews and 2 cups of water. Blend on high for about 30secs
6. Pour the cashew milk in with the coconut milk. That's it! Remember to refrigerate the milk and enjoy for up to 6 days. It's natural for the milk to look separated, simply shake the bottle before use

Excellent! This and the red Chili oil one are my fav episodes 😊

[andyatari]

Awesome, I've been using your Almond milk recipe video for my morning espresso and pour-overs for a few months now. It's by far the best home made almond milk recipe and it's much much better than all the store bought ones I've tried.

[trayc]

I haven't seen your videos in a while in my news feed definitely a good two months

[rochellek]

😋😋😋😋😋😋looks easy after the meat is out of the shell😊

I just ordered two of the nut bags. The others are horrible.

This was by far the most relaxing video I’ve watched this week. The drink looks yummy and the added steamed coconut milk looks like a ❤on top of the matcha at 10:55 10:56 Great presentation!

To make it easier to get the coconut out of the shell I freeze the coconut before. You just have to open one of the holes and get the water out. Freeze the coconut for 2 days and crack it open. The nut will shrink and loose from the shell.

Love the dairy free milks. Cows milk is not ours! Ditch dairy. choose compassion 🐮🌱

I live in Costa Rica and we have 2 coconut trees loaded with fruit. I love fresh green coconut water and I’m so excited now to try making my own coconut milk. Thanks for the recipe!

[SuperTuffgirl]

Oh yum! I’m definitely going to make that for my hubby. He will absolutely love it! Thank you for the share ♥️

[carmelitataylor]

I really enjoyed watching you make coconut milk and adding the cashew milk. Towards the end of your video, I just about lost it when you made the matcha latte! It was a treat to watch and the icing on the cake for me. I love matcha tea and can't wait to try your version. Thank you, Will!

9:25 this may have already been answered but do you have a fav matcha brand or supplier you use? Also for bamboo whisks?

I really enjoyed this video!

[rayon]

Amazing to watch...Love the way he speaks and explains.

[monicasonger]

Absolutely love watching your video's. So relaxing and simple. A soothing part of my day! :)

[SeareanMoon]

we love matcha but have not tried it with this milk, definitely on our "to do" list!

[amylphillips]

I cannot wait to make my matcha latte tomorrow morning like you did. Your video was so relaxing to watch that I actually watched it twice. Thank you for being such a calming influence in my life.

[bzhuzhu]

Great video. Cabin you share what brand of macha did you have use in this video?

[dujs]

Hi Wil! I missed seeing you on Sunday! Ok, coconut milk is wonderful! I use it all the time in my curry recipes and rice dishes. It adds richness and sweetness to all my food. Thank you again...and again.❤🙏
Tip: The kernel comes out easier if you warm the outside of the shells a bit...over your flame.

[sandradavis]

Thank you for this great video. I love coconut milk and find it’s not very good when purchasing commercial brands. I plan on making my own after watching your preparation method.💕💕
