How To Make Biko At Home

You can always make some biko at home. Truth be told, this local delicacy is easy to make. You just need to do a lot of mixing but consider that as a great workout. 😀

Here’s how to make biko at home.

First, you need to squeeze out some milk from the coconut meat. Make sure to squeeze the milk out per batches. For example, your first squeeze is your first batch and your second squeeze is your second batch. Once you’re done with your first squeeze, set it aside.

Combine and cook the second, third, and fourth batches of coconut milk on low fire. Add some sugar. Mix until it thickens.

When it’s thick enough, add the sticky rice.

That’s it! That’s how to make biko at home.

You can also make some latik for some biko toppings. ❤️

That’s the purpose of the first batch of freshly squeezed coconut milk. You’re going to be using it to make latik. Take note, that’s the only ingredient that you will be using to make latik. 😃
