medium dark-rum.
Enriched coconut milk: Get a ripe coconut anywhere. Bore two
holes in eyes and drain out water into saucepan-being careful to
strain out fibres or bits of shell. . . . Crack open nut, peel off brown
outer skin from kernel, and either grate, grind, or cut up fine and add
to water.... Fetch to a simmer for five minutes. Put through a fine
cloth, squeezing out the final rich cream by hand. Ripe fresh coconuts
can be had in most good grocery stores these days. . . . Those pos–
sessing The Mixer will save an increaible amount of time by cutting
up kernel, with brown part unremoved, into the top container of The
Mixer; turn in the coconut juice. Reduce to a pulp at high speed for r
minute, then rub through a very fine sieve, or strain through several
thicknesses of cloth.
