Make Coconut oil
Most coconut oil recipes use cooking which changes it’s taste and smell as well as damaging the nutrients and killing the enzymes. So, it’s important to make raw, organic, pure and completely natural coconut oil if you wish for the best possible results.Here is the best recipe we found:
Ingredients
- Freshly made coconut milk
- 2 glass containers with lid
Method
- Let your freshly made coconut milk stand in a glass for an hour and transfer the thickest portion to another glass bowl with a lid. Let it in a semi-warm place for 24-48 hours.
- The mixture is ready when you see bubbles of oil forming, a sign of the milk fermenting. If you want to help the procedure, put the bowl in a container with warm water and soon the oil will be floating.
- Put the bowl in the fridge which will help the oil harden at the top. Take it out an hour later and use a spoon to scrap the coconut oil from the top.
- Put the oil in a new container and let it get back to normal temperature.
Yes, that was it!
