Milk & cookies

I didn´t write anything during last week but it doesn´t mean I did nothing. I cooked a little bit and prepared fantastic and natural washing-up liquid! So these days I will put new recipes that I hope you like but also some music, news, something to read.

Ok, so we have winter here in Poland and everything has turned completely white, and when it´s so cold I love drink a glass of warm vegan milk and cookies! I think it tastes much better if you prepare it by yourself. So check this out.

Coconut milk

1 cup grated or desiccated coconut

3-4 cups water

1 cup soy milk (optional)

Soak the grated coconut for about 2 hours. Add remaining water and a little of soy milk if you prefer the stronger texture. Grind all together for a few minutes. You will notice some strange dense foam on the surface of your milk, but don't be afraid it´s only coconut cream! Do throw it away, you can use it for some desserts, sauces and soups. You have to pick it up anyway because it´s pure fat :)

Now if our mil has a regular milk consistency, you can strain it to remove the coconut that we don´t need any longer, unless you want to drink it as well, for example with cereals, The milk should me use during 4-5 days because it spoils quickly. My milk looks like this:

I don´t throw away things that I might use it the future, so after making a milk I decided to prepare coconut oat cookies recycling the leftover coconut.
