Blending Coconut Meat/Water & Nuts

Date: February 12, 2008 09:37PM I have a problem where when I blend coconut meat and water, it still has some separation of white stuff that floats on top.
I also have to strain and strain when I make nutmilks, even if the nuts are soaked. I hate to do it because I don't want to waste cheesecloth. Is this because I should have a vita-mix or something? Anyone else with this problem? Re: Blending Coconut Meat/Water & Nuts

Date: February 12, 2008 10:18PM If you mean the little bags for making tea, they probably have a tight enough weave, but they're bound to be way too small to be convenient. A good nut milk bag will allow you to pour a quart of milk into the bag to be strained at once. You massage the bag to get all the liquid to run out, leaving just the solid pulp. There are a bunch of good demonstration videos on youtube like this one: [youtube.com] (In this video she uses less water than I do.) Re: Blending Coconut Meat/Water & Nuts

Also, any idea on the coconut meat and water not blending all the way? Re: Blending Coconut Meat/Water & Nuts
