1. Simply dry the coconut flour
- in your oven on slow heat so it does not burn
- in a large tray outside in the sun
- or buy placing the chaff in a big pot cover and placing that big pot cover on top of a smaller pot that contains a little water (so that the steam can graudually dry the chaff)
2. When completely dry...blend the chaff into fine powder by using your blender's dry mill.
