Coconut Milk and more

COCONUT MILK

Coconut milk may be used in all recipes calling for milk. Other nut milks are also good. They are superior and preferred to the use of any of the animal milks. Use fresh nuts in preference to canned or grated nuts.

To prepare coconut milk, start with blender ½ full of warm water. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and a dash of salt. (These two ingredients may be left out if not desired.)

As blender is running (medium to high speed) add chunks of coconut until container is nearly full. (Dried coconut may be used.)

Strain the pulp from the liquid and use the pulp over again by adding fresh warm water to it in the blender. Strain again, and this time throw the used pulp away.

The coconut milk produced in this fashion makes a tasty, nutritious beverage for children or adults in place of animal milk. A number of delicious drinks can be made by using coconut milk and your favorite fresh fruit blended together.

COCONUT-SESAME MIX

(May be used for many cream sauces.)

6 tablespoons grated coconut

6 tablespoons fresh sesame seeds

Sesame or safflower oil

Blend the two dry ingredients until they no longer fall to center. Stop the blender and push them to the center with a knife several times as they stick to the sides.

As blender is running add sesame or safflower oil until the oil covers the pulp (approx. 6 tablespoons). Blend for 2 minutes and then add warm water until mixture reaches the desired thickness (approx. 12 oz. Of water). One tablespoon of maple syrup and a dash of salt may be added if desired.

FOR SAUCES: Start with coconut milk, or coconut-sesame milk; add potato flour for thickening and season with desired spices. May also be used for creamed soups (mushroom, celery, etc.)) and scalloped dishes (potato, cauliflower, etc.) Try variations as your imagination dictates.
