First open the coconut. It has three dark spots on its surface. These are places where the skin is very thin. It can be easily removed using a corkscrew. At the same time, there is a good opportunity to check whether you bought a quality nut. If a clear liquid with a pleasant odor spills from it, it means that you were not mistaken in your choice.

But this liquid is not milk. You just need to drain it, although you can drink it. It resembles the juice of radish with honey to taste. Then you need to try to open the coconut. A good way is a tapping method - for example, with a knife handle. Once you open one of the holes, you will see the flesh of coconut - white, similar to cream, forming a fairly thick layer. It has a characteristic odor. Here it is necessary to get it, preferably in its entirety. You will have to try, as the peel of the nut is quite dense. All means are good, but it is better to observe safety measures. But some are not shy about using a hammer.

If you managed to get the white substance - it's time to get coconut milk. It is extracted by the method of extraction. You can simply squeeze a little mass in your hand and you will see coconut milk. Strain the resulting liquid to eliminate unnecessary additions, and you get a natural exotic product.
note
When picking a coconut, shake it. In a mature fluid splashes freely, a characteristic sound is heard.
