Since coconuts are typically seasonal and perishable, using unsweetened coconut
flakes makes this recipe more accessible year round. Since there is quite a bit of pulp left over from the milk-making process, note that saving this pulp can come in handy in other recipes. You can dry the pulp and use it as flour, use it as a mild body scrub, or add the pulp to your smoothies for added nutrients and flavor.
GET THAT HYDRATION IN
We all know by now that hydration is important. As supplementation to your water intake, coconut milk (especially homemade) can be an excellent addition. Dehydration can lead to constipation, toxic build-up (especially manifesting as skin conditions), and decreased energy. Chronic dehydration is linked to weight gain and a slower metabolism. Our body does not accurately distinguish between hunger and thirst, so often dehydration can be mistaken for hunger and overeating can result.

Our muscle's ability to produce energy also significantly decreases as we become depleted of water. At just 3-percent dehydration (about the point many people feel thirst), our metabolism declines by about 2-percent. For the average, 2,000 calories-per-day individuals, this equates to about 40 calories per day. This could result in a 4-5 pound weight gain per year for most people, not to mention the effects of overeating from dehydration-caused hunger signals. So drink up!
