Aging, Straining, filtering, and Drinking Your Coconut Liqueur
Shake well and store away from sunlight in a cool and dry place for 2-3 weeks.
Agitate the jar every few days to encourage extraction.
After your waited for a minimum of 2 weeks, strain your liqueur through several layers of cheesecloth.
It helps to moisten the cheesecloth first so the liquid permeates more smoothly.
Once you get to the point where you have strained everything out, you can gently wring the cheesecloth to extract all of the liquid and juice.
If you still need to strain your liqueur further due to lack of clarity, you can strain it 1 more time through a coffee strainer.
