Coconut milk is a rich and creamy liquid extracted from the grated white pulp of mature coconuts. It is made by blending fresh coconut flesh with water and then straining the mixture. Coconut milk is sweet and rich with a prominent coconut flavor. It is used in a wide variety of applications from drinks such as piña coladas to panang curries. It is natural for coconut milk to separate into coconut milk and coconut cream: just stir or shake until homogeneous before use.
