Fill a large bowl with water, add dry baobab and soak for about two hours. Make sure that all the pulp is soaked and covered with water.
When the pulp gets really soft and starts dissolving, squeeze it with clean hands to be able to remove the seeds and string-like seed fibers.
Repeat the process by using a strainer or a clean kitchen towel to strain the juice once again and remove all the remains of the fibers.
Add sugar or sweetener to taste. Stir it well until it's completely melted and mixed in the juice.
Add coconut milk.
Optionally, if you like the taste, add a banana using a blender or food processor.
Chill the juice in the refrigerator and serve cold. Enjoy :)

Buy quality baobab pulp from known and responsible sellers.
If possible, buy organic ingredients.
Store baobab juice in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze it for up to 6 months.
Following a simple pasteurization process, baobab juice can be heated up to 80 C for about 10 minutes and stored in sterilized bottles (in a dry and cool place) for up to a year.
Add pure baobab juice to other juices or use it for smoothies.
Use baobab juice for homemade ice cream, sorbet or popsicles.
Freeze it in ice cubes and add to chill cold summer drinks.
Burning the remaining baobab seeds may work as an effective mosquito repellent.
