Greetings Community
Greetings everyone, have a great start to the week. We continue sharing ideas on how to use ingredients we have at home, ingredients that come from nature, sometimes gifts from others, and we realize we can do something with them. We create healthy, edible products with nutrients to keep our bodies healthy and well.
We live in times where keeping food in our homes isn't difficult, but it does produce a mental sense of scarcity, where without realizing it we utter words of lack that prevent us from seeing the great abundance we possess. These times I'm referring to aren't just about Venezuela, but about any country in the world. When we're not aware of this, it's hard for us to see that abundance is a divine right; beginning to feel it is part of the process.
Yogurt can be considered a snack. There are many brands on the market with different flavors and colors, with fruit, plain, and many more. We found recipes for making it at home, and many people have achieved good results. Others, however, despite following the instructions, haven't succeeded. Plus, the recipes we found call for a lot of ingredients, even if it's only two or three (at least, that's what I think).
Today I'm sharing a simple process with very few ingredients, so you don't need to make a large batch. I was given some young coconuts, and my husband took care of removing the water and pulp. While he was doing that, I was about to sit down and eat the delicious young coconut pulp when I received a very simple recipe for yogurt made with coconut, using all its minerals. I wanted to try it, and I liked the result, which was approved by several people I shared it with.
Comparto los ingredientes de mi experiencia
La pulpa de dos cocos tiernos
1 taza de agua de coco
El jugo de ½ limón
Here are the ingredients from my experiment:
The pulp of two young coconuts
1 cup of coconut water
The juice of 1/2 a lemon
Un procedimiento muy sencillo
A very simple procedure:
Go to the blender, add the coconut water, then gradually add the coconut pulp. Blend for two to three minutes.
Pour the blended mixture into a glass and add the lemon juice.
Combine the ingredients in the glass jar. Cover with paper towels. Place in a dark place for 12 hours. This preparation took longer than 12 hours; I almost forgot. Before storing it for the darkening process, I covered it with a cloth to ensure complete darkness (this is based on what I've seen in yogurt recipes).
After more than 12 hours, I removed the cloth and the paper towel.
Its pleasant texture and very natural coconut flavor are, of course, delicious. This yogurt can be served plain or with nuts or any fruit you have on hand. The serving shown in the picture is accompanied by dudù mango, which I already had in my fridge. This fruit gave it a very tropical and magical touch.
