Coconut milk
Coconut milk is a creamy, white liquid that comes from the flesh of mature coconuts. It is a plant-based ingredient commonly used in cooking and baking to add a rich, tropical flavour to dishes. Unlike dairy milk, coconut milk is lactose-free, making it a popular alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or following a vegan diet.
To make coconut milk, the white flesh of a mature coconut is grated and soaked in hot water. The mixture is then strained to remove the solid pieces, leaving behind the liquid coconut milk. This process can be repeated to create different thicknesses of coconut milk, such as full-fat or light versions, depending on the amount of water used in the extraction.
You may often find coconut milk listed on food labels in products like curries, soups, desserts, and smoothies. It is used to enhance the flavour and creaminess of dishes while also providing a hint of natural sweetness. Coconut milk is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both savoury and sweet recipes, offering a dairy-free alternative for those looking to explore new flavours in their cooking.
