should cut the coconut kernel with the scraper.
Putthem into a food processor and turn it on to a medium speed and
blend well until shredded.
Adda little water in order to help in the blending process. Once done,
you will have to filter the coconut milk.
Placea cheese cloth over a wide mouth jar. Place the coconut mixture
on the cloth with the help of a spoon.
Thenwrap the cloth and squeeze it to get the milk in the jar. Leave the
jar as it is for 24 hours.
