This a secret recipe of my Mom that i want to share with you.She told us that making a Virgin Coconut oil was one of the source of living of her parents when she was young .

And here goes,

 
Ingredients:

 10 to 15 coconuts will give you 3 liters of coconut milk, from which you can extract approximately 150 grams of coconut oil.

3 to 4 coconuts will give you 1 litre of coconut milk, from which 50 grams of oil can be extracted. This quantity is better suited to make virgin coconut oil at home, since fewer coconuts are required.

Procedure

1. First, the husk and the shell is removed from fresh coconuts,
2. then the meat of the coconut is shredded -a process called “Wet Milled”,
3. then the meat is “Cold Pressed” to get the coconut milk without any chemicals. At home, you can hand press using gloves. Collect coconut milk.
4. Put in a refrigerator for 3 hours. After 3 hours , you can see that the water and white part are separated.
