Ingredients
- 2 cups of coconut milk (preservative free)
- 2 tbsp of culture (see notes)
Instructions
- Mix the coconut milk with the culture in a glass container.

- Thermophilic cultures (yogurt), heat the coconut milk up to 108-110 F (40 C). Stir in the culture and maintain the temperature for 10 hours. See notes for more information.
Notes
- There isn’t a specific culture that eats coconut milk, so you can use any yogurt or dairy culture that you want. However, the culture won’t be happy in coconut milk, so you will need to use fresh culture for each batch of coconut milk.

This looks good! Do you have to refrigerate it after you make it?
★★★★★
Yes! Ferments need to be stored in the fridge to slow the fermentation.
? I left some coconut milk in fridge and it has soured, is it ok to eat?
I’m guessing that you didn’t ferment it… so I can’t recommend eating it. Sorry!
