When I say “coconut milk» almost people will think about canned coconut milk which is not raw and often has preservatives. So what is coconut milk? Many people confuse coconut milk with coconut water. When you open fresh coconut, you will find coconut water or some people call it coconut juice. And coconut milk is a mix of coconut water and coconut meat, flesh. To make a raw coconut milk it’s easy. Place the coconut flesh and coconut water in a blender, adding three to four cups water blend until the coconut and water forms smooth slurry. And what is if you don’t have fresh coconuts, like me? Well, I can find coconuts online and very expensive, so its better think we don’t have fresh coconuts in Japan 😉 However, I am glad we can easy to find and buy dry coconuts flakes here.
