HOW TO MAKE A HOMEMADE COCONUT OIL|| I set 10% payout to @steemkidss

Hello friends of steemkidss community, I'm happy to be with you all and this will be my first post in the community.
Today I thought of sharing how to make the coconut oil at home. I hope that this post will be able to benefit everyone especially the kids. Let's get started now:

MY HOMEMADE COCONUT OIL

Like we all know coconut oil has many importance 1. It can be used to grow hair .it can be used an a body moisture as it maintain and heals skin .it can also be added to your cream .

below is the process I took in making it. Its very simple and easy 😁

Step 1: Remove the husk steadily hold the coconut with your palm facing up and slam the spine of a cleaver into it until it cracks .

Use mallet, hammer or any strong material of your choice ,gently knock several areas of the coconut until the brown shell cracks. Carefully pick off the remaining shell .make sure to enjoy the coconut water 🥰🥰..its one of the best way to stay hydrated.

Step 2: Hand grate the coconut using the fine side of a grater ..

Step 3 ADD about 1 to 3 cups of water to your grated coconut . it will help when squeezing the juices..squeeze the juice out of the shredded coconut with your hands...squeeze the juice out using a cheesecloth
The remaining shred will have no much flavour in it .you can give to a goat to snack on or throw away ..

Step 4 Put the coconut milk into a large pot and allow it to warm up and don't let it get to a boil. Just warm it and turn off the heat and do not stir the mixture

Step .5 Let the coconut milk cool to room temperature

Step 6. Once cooled , you will see that the coconut fat layered on top of the water...using a spoon skim the fat off the top and put it in a pan . Use a stainless pot

Step 7 Let the coconut "custard " come to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for roughly 45minutes..as this boils down the appearance will change. You will notice a clear spot .that's the oil. It will continue to separate from fat.you can use your spoon to separate the two

Step 8 Strain the oil with either a seive ..let it cool completely ..that the steps boom your oil is ready . ... lastly on preserving your oil ...it is important to store your oil properly to keep it from smelling very bad within weeks ..you can glass containers and in the fridge...when you want to use scoop out the necessary amount and let it get to room temperature before use...

Coconut oil is ready

I hope you understood the steps. It was my pleasure sharing it with you all and thank you very much for being my guest. Please support me in any little way you can.
