Homemade Coconut oil

Do you know that you can make your own coconut oil at home? 

And this can be preserved not only in fridge but in pantry as well! You can check out my previous post on Homemade coconut milk as I will use freshly homemade milk which I made here homemade coconut milk recipe 

Ingredients:

1 ½ cup fresh coconut milk

Method:

Place your coconut milk in a large bowl, seal it with a clingfilm

 

Place a tight cover and store in dark room temperature area for 24 hours

 

Now move it to fridge for another 24 hours to proceed the fermentation. Now as you take it put from fridge, you will notice on the top, the fat has been separated from the remaining liquid.

With the help of a metal strainer, gently scoop out the fat blocks. - the fat is the oil!

Store air tight container or bottle tight and place in pantry till it dissolves or keep in fridge. Do you know you can make chocolate chips with coconut oil? I will post the recipe soon!

NOTE: Sometimes you may noticed some brown coloring on the top of your coconut oil as shown in picture below. This is totally natural as you have processed natural unbleached oil. The brown color is simply the coconut fiber that occurs during processing. So it is totally natural for a fresh flavorful unbleached oil.
