Coyo Update!

Just recently discovered the easiest and simplest method by far is the inoculation one where you sterilise the glass jars, heat gently the coconut milk or cream mixture(including the contents of the pro biotic capsules and sweetener if using) and leaving it an a warm place for 24 hours or so ie an unused oven with the light on!


Simple Coyo!

Coconut meat, coconut water and and contents of 2 probiotic capsules.

Leave to ferment in warm place.

Sweeten to taste!

DIY Easy Coyo!

  1. Dissolve arrow root in equal parts coconut milk (i.e. ¼ cup arrowroot to ¼ cup coconut milk). Pour this mixture and the remaining coconut milk into the pot. 
  2. Cook on gentle heat for about 9 minutes so the starch thickens. Stir continually.
  3. Turn off the stove and allow the mixture to cool to 43c. Leave your thermometer in and keep checking it periodically
  4. Once cooled to 43c, stir in the sweetener of your choice.
  5. Pour about ½ a cup of the milk mixture into the sterilized jug and add the culture (if using probiotic capsules, pull them apart and pour the contents into the milk)
  6. Gently stir the culture into the milk and pour the mix into pot.
  7. So that the culture is mixed evenly and the temperature is at back at 45C, reheat and stir until you have the temp back to 43C. Then turn the stove off and follow steps 8 to 11 above.]
  8. or simply leave coconut milk in refrigerator overnight and process with 2 probiotic capsules, 1TBS lemon juice and sweetener of choice, enjoy!

Healing, Detoxification Therapy Tool : Oil-Pulling with Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil

Oil-Pulling is a traditional Indian, Ayurvedic, natural hygiene, detoxification healing therapy tool that can naturally whiten teeth, banish halitosis, improve skin etc. and generally provide an enhanced level of well being and vitality!

Prior to breakfast you simply swish a little
(TBS) cold-pressed sesame oil(traditionalist that I am this is the oil which I personally favour:) in your mouth for 20 minutes then spit out(oil will become white & cloudy) Beware that the swished oil is full of bacteria, toxins and parasites be mind-full where you dispose of it.

Caution : Do not swallow

Flashback January 2013 : Snowy London!

This was the scene from our hotel room in West London upon arriving back home from visiting relatives in Australasia. I can remember it well as it was particularly bitterly-cold winter, so much so the olive oil solidified. We really appreciated the warming and comforting home-made nettle soup thought!
