COCOANUT MILK.

By Isadora Spies

ISADORA SPIES.

MANY of our missionaries are not where they can readily purchase nut mills; but in many parts of the world cocoanuts are to be had, and if the milk is extracted, are as good, perhaps, as other nuts. But as it is not always convenient to take the time to grate a fresh nut, I prepare several at a time, spreading the grated pulp in the sun to dry. When thoroughly dry, I put it into glass jars or tin cans. When needed, I pour boiling water over the quantity required, and press out the milk through a coarse cloth. This milk may be used with grains, or for mixing crackers.
