Make Your Own Coconut Milk

Spoiler alert: The only ingredient is a coconut.

So you want to make your homemade spicy prawn laksa even better?

"Is that even possible?" you're probably asking yourself. Why, yes, yes it is. "But how?" Fair question. Here's how: by making your own coconut milk.

A little water, a little cheesecloth and you're on your way to silky, milky coconut-infused flavor.

Heck, you don't even have to use it for laksa; you can use it in any myriad of dishes that require a sweet, creamy dimension that only coconut milk can add. And you only need one ingredient to do it: a coconut!
