I love homemade coconut milk. I love eating the hardened oil that forms on the top, too. But for a more milk like 'feel', I wanted it to stay emulsified.
So far, the best way for me is a blend of oatmilk and coconut milk. I usually end up with about a quart and a half or so doing it this way:
Heat a cup of water to almost boiling. Add 2 level Tablespoons of rolled oats. Let sit for a few minutes, add 1/2 cup of coconut. Let sit a few more minutes, then blend with added water. Strain and refrigerate. Shake before using.
I use my trusty Magic Bullet, blending half at a time. I blend each portion a couple of times with added water. Yes, I can taste a bit of the oatmeal, but it's not overpowering.
I get organic dried coconut from Azure Standard - much better taste and more coconut oil compared to what I was getting from the store. Yay, Azure.
