This is another tasty way to have turmeric daily, and easy to make. Simply use a good quality coconut milk, warm up and stir in half teaspoon of turmeric, add a little honey to round up the taste.

 

mature coconuts without the fibrous shell

I found in the supermarket in Hong Kong this year these mature coconuts without the fibrous shell. It is possible to make our own fresh coconut milk, with a bit of work.

Carefully use the edge of a big chopper to dig into the nut, then cut into quarters. Cut away the thin brown outer skin, soak in water for a day to soften a bit, keep in the fridge. Either uses a micro-plane grater (if you have a lot of energy) or cut into pieces and use a blender to shred it. Soak grated coconut in the soaking water with a pinch of salt, squeeze a few times.
