• Using the sharp knife, pierce the eyes of the coconut and drain water into a bowl
• Put coconut on a hard surface (preferably concrete, tile might crack!) and smack with hammer/meat mallet/rolling pin until it splits open. It's wonderfully therapeutic.
• With your kitchen knife, pry the coconut meat from its husk. I used a paring knife in the video, and you'll notice a Hello Kitty bandaid appears on my thumb halfway through. A kitchen knife is stiff and well-suited for the purpose, but it will bend so don't use your good stuff.
• Peel away any brown pieces of skin that adhere to the coconut meat.
• Place coconut meat and coconut water in a blender, adding 1 - 1½ cups water (hot water will draw out more coconut oil from the meat and yield a thicker product).
• Blend until smooth.
• Pour coconut mixture through a butter muslin or clean old t-shirt into a large jar. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Store in refrigerator

Enjoy!
