Break the coconut and slice out the coconut meat.
Add all the coconut meat in the blender with 2 to 3 cups of water and blend it to a smooth consistency.
Strain the milk out using a strainer, making sure to squeeze out all the milk.
Save this milk separately if you want to use it in your coffee or tea as a creamer.
Add the pulp back into the blender, add a cup of water and blend well again. Repeat the process of straining and squeeze out all the milk.
Add the left over pulp one more time with a cup of water and blend well again. Repeat the process for straining. The pulp would hardly have any life left in it so I usually discard it in the compost.
Run the milk through a tea strainer which has a finer mesh a couple of more times to remover any pulp which might have escaped the previous time.
Store it in the coldest part of your fridge. If drinking s milk or using in other dishes dilute it further with a cup or two of cold water.
