Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 300 g grated coconut (or fresh, grated coconut pulp; corresponds to approx. 2 coconuts)
  • 1-2 TABLESPOONS Lemon juice
  • 7-10 Tbsp Rambutans and roasted coconut chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Put the grated coconut in the blender jug. Bring 1.2 litres of water to the boil, allow to cool for approx. 1 minute. Pour about 1/3 of the hot water over the grated coconut. Mix at intervals of approx. 1/2 minute (switch the machine on and off several times! If the mixture is too firm, use a universal chopper).

  2. 2

    Line a bowl with a clean, damp gauze or tea towel. Add the coconut mixture and squeeze it out with the cloth, collecting the brew. Put the pressed coconut flakes back into the blender. Repeat the process twice with the remaining water, boiling the water again if necessary. Stir lemon juice into the coconut milk and let it cool down. Store in a cool place until serving. Arrange in glasses as desired and serve with e.g. rambutans and roasted coconut chips

  3. 3

    Tip: If you would like to prepare the milk the day before: Cover the cooled milk and put it in a cool place. The next day a white, firm layer will have formed. Warm the coconut milk slightly just before serving, mixing in the white layer with the cutting stick
