Check to see what thickness and tanginess you want

To make coconut yogurt, mix the unsweetened coconut milk with the shredded coconut and vanilla extract, if you're using it

Mix things together well

Spread the coconut yogurt mixture out in a clean container

Put a lid on top and leave it somewhere warm and draft-free for 6 to 8 hours to ferment

Check to see what thickness and flavor you want
