healthwise and otherwise. This being the case, you cannot be sure of the quality of the
coconut you obtain in the market.
Hence, its best you make your coconut oil yourself. This article will give you step by step guide on how to make your own coconut oil.
1.To make a reasonable amount of coconut oil, you need at least five coconuts. The first
time i tried to make mine i used just one coconut and ended up with two teaspoon of the oil.
2.Next, break the coconut and separate the meat from the shell.
3.Now, use a grater and grate the coconut meat into smaller bits. This is to make it blendable.
4.Having done with grating, empty the grated coconut into your blender or food processor.
You might do this in batches depending on the size of your food processor. Add a little amount
of water and blend.
5.Okay, so you have your blended coconut right? Now add hot water to extract the oil from
the coconut.
6.Next, sieve the coconut with a clean sieve cloth and collect the white coconut milk. The chaff
is an excellent feed for your livestock.
7.Allow to cool and sediment by placing it on the table or place it in a refrigerator
8.Use a spoon and scrape the oil from the surface of the milk. Note: the oil congeals on the
surface.
9.Place the extract in a pan and fry.
10.Collect your oil in bottle.
