Let me show you how to make your own coconut milk that is economical, easy, and delicious!
Coconut oil is one of the few foods that can be classified as a nutritional superfood.
Using either economical coconut manna (butter) or coconut cream and water, it’s sooo easy to make coconut milk.
And you won’t even need a blender!
Are you or a child dairy-sensitive?
Cow’s milk is the most common food allergy for children. If you or one of your children is often congested, coughing, sinus infection, or has repeated earaches (when they don’t have a cold), try getting off of all dairy for 1 month in order to give the system time to calm down. You may see a marked positive improvement.
Coconut manna (butter) is more economical than using coconut cream. Coconut cream is already part water, but coconut manna (butter) contains no additives, not even water (and is, as you would expect, VERY concentrated – a little goes a long way). The dried coconut meat is ground very finely, giving it a creamy consistency due to its high fat content, much like other nut butters.
I use either Native Forest Organic Coconut Cream or Nutiva Coconut Manna (butter) to make coconut milk.
Coconut Milk with Two Ingredients:
1-2 rounded tsp. Coconut Manna (butter)– OR – 2 rounded TBSP Native Forest Coconut Cream
1 cup water (warm water if the coconut concentrate is in its solid state)
DIY Coconut Milk Directions:
Simply mix the coconut product into warm water and stir to make coconut milk.
• To make the coconut milk thicker, use less water. To make it thinner, use more water.
• Make larger batches of coconut milk by doubling, tripling, or quadrupling the recipe and store it in a glass pitcher in the fridge.
It is wonderful in coffee as a non-dairy creamer, and it is also an excellent ingredient for cooking and baking. Because of its low moisture content, it can be mixed right in the batter or dough of breads and pastries. It can be blended with smoothies or made into ice cream.

Other Delicious Ways to Use Coconut Cream Concentrate
Smoothies: just add a heaping TBSP and water instead of milk (make the recipe above and add)
Whipped topping: Making whipped cream from coconut milk couldn’t be easier or more delicious, but since you’re relying on the thick layer of coconut cream at the top of the can of coconut milk, using coconut cream instead means that the whole thing is dense, thick, and whip-able.
Soups: It can be a great addition to very full-flavored soups like broccoli or carrot/ginger.
Curries: Many curry recipes call for coconut milk as it is. You may need to up your seasoning, but that’s a personal preference anyway.

Hello, I love your blog! It is filled with a wealth of information. We are investigating using essential oils, but need some guidance on what direction we need to go in. Can you please give any info you have or point us in the right direction on this? Thank you.
Soli Deo Gloria

Alvino, Hello!
First, thank you for your kind words 🙂
As for essential oils, I am still learning so much, and I don’t have all the answers and am always reading and using them for experience. One post I wrote that might help get you started is here: https://deeprootsathome.com/safe-essential-oils-for-children-babies/
I have changed over to Mountain Rose Herbs, the company I settled on after researching for 2 years and using and comparing the product. For the value and purity of product, it is my choice.
I need to write more on essential oils…
Jean
I may be to late to comment on this post but I love coconut everything but especially the water, BUT everyting coconut constipates me UGH《《《《 can you suggest anything.
Jacqueline
Yes, Jean! I do have an idea for you! I add about 2 TBSP of chia seed to 2 big cups of coconut milk and let it sit overnight on the fridge to swell and gel up. I also add cinnamon, sometimes ginger, raw honey, and a pinch of sea salt for a healthful and colon-cleansing morning hydrant and energy boost. It is often a part of my breakfast routine. so simple and quite effective if I keep drinking water to aid in elimination. Drinking adequate water is key!
Great question! Thank you!
April
Do you store this coconut cream in the fridge? Does it separate a lot and requring melting/mixing?
Jacqueline
Hi, April,
No, I don’t store coconut cream in the fridge. That just makes it hard since it is a oil that hardens when cool or cold. Sometimes, I just set it on the back of the stove and it will get slightly softer. OR I just use a butter knife and chop out a chunk 😀
Blessings!

I need some help finding advice and wondered if you could! I have tried twice to make my own “cold pressed” coconut oil and both times failed. 🙁 The “curd” did not separate well enough and my oil molded. Do you have any resources I could use? Do you have any experience doing this? I do not want to use the heating method as that lessens the benefits of the MCTs in the oil. Thanks for any help you can give! Merry Christmas….
Jacqueline
Melena, I have not ever tried to separate out coconut oil from a coconut. I would just be guessing to tell you how, because I do not know.
I don’t know who to refer you to, either. I am sorry.. I wish I could help you!
Maybe there is a website that can show you exact instructions, but AI haven’t found it!
Blessings,
Jacqueline
