Fresh Coconut Milk

I decided to be a bit adventurous on this one. Having read on the can that coconut milk is made from steamed coconut, I figured I could make it fresh. I bought a coconut and after much effort, and several friends making suggestions, I finally got it open. Actually, a hammer and screwdriver works best. Then I took the meat out and boiled it with bottled water. One medium coconut made about 6 cups of milk/broth. I imagine it will work the same.

Colleen then put the milk and some ice in a blender and made a frosty shake.
