I've been thinking about good methods to consume coconut oil. One method is through cooking potatoes or eating potato chips fried in coconut oil, but I was thinking about why coconut oil can't mix into milk.
I once tried mixing coconut oil into skim milk, and all it did was float on top. Why does milkfat dissolve into milk, and not coconut oil? When I added gelatin as an emulsifier, I saw droplets of oil dissolved into the milk, but the texture was very inconsistent because of that. So I'm curious, is it possible to dissolve coconut oil into skim milk completely as if it were milkfat?
