You'll never have to buy coconut milk again.

Fresh coconut milk lasts up to five days in the refrigerator and can last up to a week if sweetened with honey.

When making this recipe, adjust the ratio of water to coconut according to desired consistency. The less water you use, the thicker and more cream-like the milk will be.
