Notes

  1. Keep the coconut milk can refrigerated for a couple of hours which helps separate the cream from the watery portion. You can also freeze the can while you prep the remaining ingredients. Once the coconut milk is cold, the cream rises up and making it easy to separate from the coconut water.
