How to prepare your home-made coconut oil

Boiling the coconut method

Boiling the coconut method 

  • You'd need about 8-10 matured coconut to get a desirable quantity of oil extracted; 
  • Now first and foremost you'd have to break the coconut from its tusk with a knife or preferably you get that done at local shops where you purchased the coconut. 
  • Next I grate my coconuts after cutting them into suitable sizes that would enable me grate very well
  • After grating I pour my grated coconut into a bowl and then add about two to three cups of water
  • Squeeze out the coconut shafts and filter the water into a separate bowl or pot
  • Add more water and squeeze more untill it no longer looks creamy
  • The good thing about this recipe is that nothing goes to the waste bin you could make coconut candy for your kids or for your consumption if you want or for entertaining your guests as desert
  • So now you boil the extracted quantity of coconut milk you got
  • Boil untill the whole substance dries up and then you'd get your coconut oil. 



The Cold Process Method 

  • Start with a dried and dehydrated coconut; you can achieve this by drying your coconut in your oven at its lowest temperature 
  • Cut coconut into small chunks and then place it on a baking sheet 
  • Cook untill it's completely dry
  • Next you juice your coconut using a juicer; juice dried coconut in batches to extract the oil and the cream
  • Place coconut extract in a jar for 24hrs in a warm place. The coconut oil would rise to the top of the jar, separating it from the cream which would be solidified.
  •  Now with a tablespoon take out the coconut oil and place in a suitable container.

Our Potty Training Story

Our Potty Training Story As at the time I'm writing this blog my baby 'Vida' is two years old and she's potty trained.

So initially I introduced potty to my daughter quite early, I think somewhere around 8-9 months; reasons because the bath my mum gifted us came with a potty and also she (my mum) engineered the idea of how nice it'd be if I started potty training early.
