For full cream coconut milk:
Break coconut and remove coconut fruit from shell. Wash and grate the fruit. Put grated coconut in a blender and add water. Blend for about three times pausing between 60 seconds. Using a double fine sieve, sieve the coconut to collect coconut milk. NB-You can add another 1 cup OR 1 1/2 cup of water to the pulp and blend again to get a very thin coconut milk. It will be thinner than the light coconut milk.

Recipe Notes
Store the coconut milk in the fridge for up to three days.
Coconut milk tends to suspend after being refrigerated, just stir or run it over with warm water when ready to use.
