Hey guys.
Are you ready to learn how to make the purest
virgin coconut oil ever?
You want to go from this to this?
Let's go!
I will be making this purest virgin coconut
oil with 2 coconuts.
Break them with a blunt object and pry out
the meat.
Rinse with cool water.
Cut into pieces to help your blender.
Blend with warm water.
Sieve it 
while pressing the chaff in the process.
Blend again to get out more oil.
We need to milk this coconut as much as possible.
Then sieve with a chiffon or cheese cloth,
the cloth for sieving akamu or ogi in Nigeria.
Pour that into a transparent plastic bag like
this.
You can also pour the coconut milk into a
transparent plastic bucket
especially if you are will use method number
1 for the separation.
More on that later.
Gather the bag in such a way that it is pointy
at the bottom.
Then tie it up.
And hang somewhere like this.
If you are using a bucket, keep in a place
where it will be undisturbed.
You will immediately see the mixture separating
like a fresh water saltwater line.
Those who work at sea know what I am talking
about.
You see that?
And within 20 minutes, you will see a very
clear separation like this.
Leave it right there and after 24 hours this
is what it looks like.
You will see the first signs of fermentation
and some virgin coconut oil forming.
After 48 hours the oil is more prominent.
The fermentation of the top part is what gives
the coconut oil.
The time it will take for this to happen depends
on the temperature in your kitchen.
If you do this in the winter when kitchens
are sometimes as cold as a fridge,
fermentation and subsequently the appearance
of the oil will take longer.
But if you do this in Nigeria where the weather
is often hot and humid,
this may even happen in only 24 hours.
So keep an eye on it because you do not want
it to become rotten.
If the top part becomes mouldy, you know that
black thing that
appears on bread that has gone bad,
your virgin coconut oil will smell badly.
You don't want that.
So now that the virgin coconut oil has formed,
we need to separate it from the other unwanted
elements.
I have 2 methods of doing it.
For the first method, you need a fridge.
This is also the method where you can put
the coconut milk
in a bucket especially if you are making a
large quantity that you will sell.
Put the plastic bag in the fridge in the same
way it was hanging in your kitchen.
This way, it will be undisturbed hence the
oil will not mix with the fermented part so
much.
Within a few minutes maximum 1 hour, the virgin
coconut oil will solidify.
You can see that some of the fermented particles
stuck to the virgin coconut oil.
You can scrape some of that off with a knife.
Rinse with cool water.
And pat dry with a paper towel.
Place in a container and leave it on your
kitchen counter till it turns to liquid oil.
If it's so cold in your kitchen, you can put
it
inside a cupboard or inside an oven that is
turned off.
Again if your kitchen has the right temperature,
this will happen in no time.
When it has melted, leave it to sit there
for some time
and the fermented bits will settle at the
bottom.
Slowly decant the oil leaving the fermented
bits behind.
And you will get this.
The second method which is my fave method is:
once you see the oil, puncture the plastic bag at the
bottom of the virgin coconut oil line.
This is the complete rig up,
you need a receptor directly below the pointed end.
So puncture it all around the same line.
This one is coconut oil acupuncture!
And watch the purest virgin coconut oil drips
out into the container below.
This is why you want the plastic bag to be
pointed at the end.
Leave it there to slowly drip till there's
no more oil in the bag.
Now you can go and drink some coconut milk
while that happens.
Please note that because no heat was involved
during the making of this virgin coconut oil,
it can go solid at room temperature depending
on the temperature in your home.
Virgin coconut oil has so many uses.
You can use it as a body cream, as a hair
cream
and for coconut oil pulling.
You can also use it to cook.
Thanks because I know you've liked the video already. ;)
