Home made coconut oil

Coconut oil is a beauty essential, its rich properties aids the growth of hair, nourishes the skin and could be used for cooking purposes. Here is a simple tutorial on how I make my coconut oil.
  Firstly, you need a large or medium size coconut, then you extract the meat from the shell.
Cut the coconut its bits and put it into the blender, blend properly till texture is milky. You can add a little but enough quantity of water to it before blending.
Prepare a bowl and a sieve, the sieve should have very tiny pores a cheese cloth, handkerchief or any sieving methods you have. 
pour the blended mix to the bowl, to get a fine consistency sieve more than once.
Once you are done sieving place the coconut milk in any bowl or cup, just make sure you put it in a container that you can easily put in or bring out contents from. 
Place the coconut milk in the refrigerator over night.
At this point you should get the coconut milk at the top of the bowl and water  the bottom, what you need is the milky part settled on top.
Place a pan on low heat and allow the pan to heat up a bit, using a spoon get the milk to the pan and it will gradually turn to oil as it heats
Get your container ready for your coconut oil. That's it guys very simple hope you try this tutorial out or lemme know if you coconut oil making methods are different from mine .
