HOW TO MAKE NATURAL COCONUT OIL FROM SCRATCH 🥥🌴

Ingredients

• 2 pieces Mature Coconut (fresh, husk removed, flesh intact)
• 0.25 cup Warm Water (just enough to blend smoothly, preferably warm (around 40°C))
• 1 piece Cheesecloth (clean, fine‑mesh cloth for straining)

Instructions

1. Crack Open the Coconuts

   Place the mature coconuts over a low flame or hot surface for a few seconds to loosen the husk, then use a hammer to crack them open safely.

   Time: PT10M

2. Remove Flesh and Peel Inner Skin

   Using a sharp knife, separate the white flesh from the shell and peel off the thin brown skin to obtain clean coconut meat.

   Time: PT5M

3. Rinse the Coconut Flesh

   Rinse the flesh under running water to remove any shell fragments or debris.

   Time: PT5M

4. Blend Coconut with Warm Water (First Pass)

   Place the rinsed coconut flesh in a blender, add 0.25 cup warm water, and blend until smooth.

   Time: PT5M

5. Optional Second Blend for Extra Milk

   If you need more coconut milk, repeat the blending step with the same amount of water.

   Time: PT5M

6. Strain the Coconut Milk

   Line a large bowl with cheesecloth, pour the blended mixture over it, and squeeze firmly to extract as much liquid as possible.

   Time: PT10M

7. Rest the Coconut Milk

   Transfer the extracted coconut milk into a clean bucket or bowl, cover it, and let it sit at room temperature for 48–72 hours to allow natural separation.

   Time: PT72H

8. Chill to Solidify Oil Layer

   After separation, refrigerate the container for 30–60 minutes so the oil solidifies on top and becomes easier to scoop.

   Time: PT45M

   Temperature: 4°C

9. Collect the Coconut Oil

   Scoop the solidified oil layer into an airtight jar, seal it, and store it for future use.

   Time: PT5M
