How to Preserve Coconut Milk
Coconut milk isn't a true milk, and it isn't the liquid found in the center of a coconut. The milk is extracted from coconut meat by pouring hot water over it. The milk is typically sold canned for use in Thai and Asian cuisine, or for flavoring desserts and frozen treats. There's no need to throw out the extra when you open a can for just a small amount of milk. Preserving the coconut milk properly keeps it fresh so it retains its flavor and creamy texture.
