How do I get the coconut out of the Baby tai?

Date: August 21, 2007 08:05PM I have just bought my first baby tai coconut and I got the top off and poured out the water into a container. I am going to make ice cream that calls for fresh coconut meat or milk (2 cups) plus 1 cup of coconut juice. I can't see any coconut meat inside of the coconuts. Can you tell me where it is supposed to be?
Also what is the difference between the milk and the water or the juice? I am used to the older coconuts that have easy to find meat in them. I feel like a real dummy but I really can't see and meat. I do see some kind of white kind of slimpy stuff, bu there really isn't that much of that either. Please, I need your help so I can make my ice cream from "One Lucky Duck's Raw Ice Cream recipe" thank you JoAnn Re: How do I get the coconut out of the Baby tai?

My understanding is that coconut milk is the coconut water blended with the meat. Re: How do I get the coconut out of the Baby tai?

Coconut water is what you poured out of the coconut and coconut milk is liquid processed from the meat blended with water. You can buy it canned. Oops, I just saw that greenie already said that. Well anything canned is cooked. Re: How do I get the coconut out of the Baby tai?

Date: August 29, 2007 05:09AM where i live, i am only able to get coconuts with meat so thick and hard that you couldnt possibly 'spoon' it out. more like crack it in half and use a carrot peeler to peel the woody brown peel off. my guess is these coconuts are really old. it just sucks that i will never have like a REAL coconut !!
