First, take one or two old coconuts, break them open, and grate the meat. Add a little hot water to the grated coconut and squeeze it out to get the first milk, then add water again and squeeze out the second milk.
Mix both coconut milks together in a large vessel and boil them on low heat while stirring continuously. After a while, the milk thickens and the pure oil separates, floating to the top so it can be carefully removed and stored.
Homemade coconut oil is free of chemicals, softens hair, smooths skin, and enhances cooking flavor. Always ensure there is no moisture left, discard the oil if its smell, color, or appearance changes, or strain it through a clean cloth for long-term storage.
