Sun Tea

  • 4 cups hot water
  • 1 ½ - 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (or the meat of a coconut)
  • optional: pinch of salt, natural sweetener of your choice, vanilla bean/powder

Add coconut and 2 cups hot water to blender.*  Allow to soak for 15-60 minutes (or longer) before blending on high for 2-3 minutes.  Add remaining water and blend again until smooth consistency.  Strain through a nut milk bag.  Store in refrigerator.

*Coconut contains phytic acid in a non-mineral binding form so it doesn’t need to be soaked overnight before consuming.  If you prefer using room-temperature water instead of hot water, simply soak 4-8+ hours.

Note:  Adjust the amount of water to create the desired consistency of your milk.  I like to use nut milk in place of water for a heartier and creamier warm grain cereal.  Add the leftover coconut pulp to soups and breads or mix it with cinnamon to create a delicious butter/pudding.
