My Super Easy Almond Milk recipe can be used to make any nut milk. But this is my absolute favourite. Perfect for smoothies, lattes, porridge, granola… and all it takes is a minute of forward planning. Read more about why coconut is so good for you here.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 5 cups water
Optional:
- 1 tablespoon rice malt syrup
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Method
- Soak coconut overnight in one cup of water.
- Blend the entire soaked mix with four cups of water.
- Add the rice malt syrup and cinnamon and blend again.
- Pour through a strainer into a large bowl.
- Pour milk into a tightly sealed bottle and store in the fridge for up to a week.
- Save your pulp – it’s fantastic to add to smoothies, granola, fresh fruit and yoghurt, or my Low Carb Raspberry & Coconut Muffins. So simple, cost-effective, and resourceful!
To make your own coconut flour using your pulp, simply follow my Super Easy Almond Flour recipe – it can be used for any nut flour!

This came out really watery. Follow direction to a tee. Any suggestions?
Hello Carmel, you could reduce the amount of water slightly or blend for a longer period until it starts to thicken.
