1 ½ cups grated coconut (fresh that you grate yourself, or you can use unsweetened store-bought)
3 cups water

2. Strain the resulting mixture through a sieve carefully, pressing the coconut pulp with the back of a spoon to extract more of the coconut milk.
3. Strain once again to remove fine bits of any remaining coconut pieces.
4. Keep refrigerated until serving. You can use the left-over coconut pulp in your baking or cooking. It is delicious added to curries, cookies, cakes, and even a little in an icing is flavourful.
