Notes
Water. I highly recommend using filtered/purified water to cook your quinoa instead of tap water – especially if you are following the Medical Medium protocol. For example, I use a Berkey water filter system when cooking in all my recipes.Coconut Flakes. I 've used both organic medium + large unsweetened coconut flakes to make this recipe. I haven't tested it using any other variety of coconut flakes, such as shredded coconut.Vitamix. Use a non-toxic dish sap to clean your Vitamix thoroughly after making the coconut milk because it will leave a coconut oil reside on the inside of the container.Storage. Store your coconut milk in an air-tight glass mason jar in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Serving Size. This recipe will make approximately (1) cup of coconut milk. Nutritional information is for 1/4 cup which is (1) serving.
