Coconut milk uses in smoothies, desserts and savory recipes like curry or broths. Making coconut milk at home is easy then you might think and also low cost.

Cut it into small chunks.
Put coconut, reserved water and boiling water in blender or in food processor and process it for 5 minutes.
The coconut should be finally ground and frothy in processing.
Pour over fine sieve or a colander lined with a cheesecloth set over a large bowl.
Press down with back of spoon or use spatula to squeeze out all milk or use hands to squeeze out.
About 2 1/2 cup Coconut milk is ready. Pour in a jar and refrigerator for up to 3 days.
