Therefore for those who don't know, follow the below steps

Using 3 to 4 coconuts will give you 1 litre of coconut milk, from which 50 grams of oil can be extracted.This quantity is better for making  virgin coconut oil for use at home or you can make use of nine to eleven cups if you want it bigger. 

First, extract the flesh from the coconut. Once you have collected the flesh from all the coconuts, grate it. Next, squeeze out the coconut milk  with your hands in a muslin cloth. Keep a bowl below the cloth to collect the liquid. You can add very little hot water to it so that it will be easier to squeeze out all the milk. 

Next, after the coconut milk has been extracted, sieve it using a muslin cloth to remove any stones or rubbish then place the coconut milk in a vessel and put it on fire.  Let it cook for 2 to 3 hours, but make sure the heat is really low. Continue stirring till the milk becomes brownish in colour but ensure it doesn't burn. Once the milk becomes concentrated, remove it from the fire and let it cool down. Place the cooled thickened milk in a muslin cloth and squeeze out the oil. Collect it in a bowl and then store it in a can or a plastic bottle.

This coconut oil can last for almost a year. If you find it difficult to follow the above instructions, then watch this video below
