*Coconut milk* is a sweet, milky <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk>
white cooking base derived from the meat of a mature coconut
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut>. The color and rich taste of the
milk can be attributed to the high oil
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_oil> content and sugars
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar>. In Malaysia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia>, Brunei
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunei> and Indonesia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia> coconut milk is called /santan/
and in the Philippines <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines> it is
called /gata/. In Thailand <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand> it is
called /ga-ti/ and used in many of the Thai
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_cuisine> curries
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry>. In Brazil
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil>, it is called /leite de coco/
(literally, /coconut milk/). It should not be confused with coconut
water <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_water> (coconut juice),
which is the naturally-occurring liquid found inside a coconut.
and here:

And for the uninitiated, coconut WATER is the natural juice found inside
the coconut, as opposed to coconut milk
<http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GZSDZI?tag=ochefcom-20&link_code=as3&creativeASIN=B000GZSDZI&creative=373489&camp=211189>,
which is made by boiling equal amounts of WATER and shredded coconut
together until foamy, then straining, or coconut cream
<http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000D16YH?tag=ochefcom-20&link_code=as3&creativeASIN=B0000D16YH&creative=373489&camp=211189>,
which is made in the same manner with a ratio of four parts of shredded
coconut to one part WATER.
