Coconut Milk Coffee

by Sean Paajanen
for About.com

A thick and tropical coffee recipe, using an entire coconut (both the milk and the tasty meat). This exotic coffee drink deserves a little paper umbrella.

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole coconut
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 cups strong coffee
  • 1 tbs sugar

Preparation:

Punch 2 holes in the coconut and drain the liquid into a small saucepan. Bake the coconut in the oven (300F) for about half an hour. Use a hammer to break open the coconut, and scrape out the white coconut meat. Mince finely. Add the meat and milk to the liquid in your saucepan. Heat over low until thickened and creamy. Strain out the coconut pieces. Add hot coconut milk to coffee and sugar. Serve.
