Serves: 5
1. In a food processor or a blender, process together the coconut and 1/2 cup of the water to make as smooth as possible. Leave the processed coconut to soak in this water about 30 minutes. Then, pass everything through the fine mesh of a food mill or a strainer.
2. Return the leftover coconut to the food processor. Add the remaining 1/2 cup water, then process and strain again. Mix into the first coconut milk. For a thinner extract, add another cup of water and repeat the process once again. Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator about 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
