In this Food Medicine and Life video, Dr. Priti Nanda Sibal explains why many people opt for plant‑based milks, highlighting concerns about hormones, proteins, and lactose intolerance in cow or buffalo milk. She lists alternative milks (coconut, almond, rice, camel, goat) and demonstrates a quick, homemade coconut milk recipe: half a coconut is cut into small pieces, blended with three‑quarters of a glass of water, then strained. The resulting liquid is fresh coconut milk, while the leftover fiber can be repurposed in a chutney recipe. Dr. Sibal suggests various uses—setting curds, making tea, smoothies, or drinking with nuts—and offers storage tips such as freezing in ice‑cube trays for later use. The video emphasizes a simple, waste‑minimizing approach to creating a nutritious, dairy‑free milk alternative.

Welcome to our channel Food Medicine and Life, and today we are going to make coconut milk. Why? Because the normal cow milk which we are drinking is is loaded with hormones and also has proteins which in today's condition when our stomach lining is already stressed out stresses it further. And also for lot of people who are lactose intolerant or sensitive to lactose or other foods, cow milk or buffalo milk is not advised. So what do we have to take then? Coconut milk, almond milk, rice milk, camel milk, goat milk, These are all the options we can use. So today we are going to make coconut milk. So I have taken half coconut giri, I've cut it into small, small pieces, and I'm going to add 3/4 glass of water in it. And now I'm going to blend it. You need to blend it properly so that the consistency of the milk comes out nice. You see, it's looking very fine, very nice, and coconut milk is just a minute away. And then you can use it to set curds, you can use it to make tea, you can use it to make smoothie. Whatever you want to do with this. So I have a sieve here. I'm going to pour this mixture in the sieve, and you would be wondering what is it that we need to do with this, all the fiber which is there in the sieve now. Wait, I will make another recipe for you where you can use this in chutney, because let's not waste fiber. We all know we need about 35 grams of fiber, and what we take today according to studies and data is just 15 grams. But it's looking so fine, so fresh, perfect. So your coconut milk is ready, and you can now use it for whatever you already have plans to eat. So now our coconut milk is ready. You can either put it in ice tray and store it there for your coffees and smoothies. You can also set curd with this, or you can just drink it with some nuts in it and enjoy.
