I thought, coconut milk is made by soaking the white bits of coconut fruit (“flesh”) in water; while the coconuts naturally contain a clear liquid called “coconut juice” or “coconut water”.

But do some coconuts naturally have a milky white liquid inside instead of a clear liquid?

    Coconut milk is not water with coconut flesh soaked in it. To get coconut milk, you grate coconut flesh, pulverise it (Using a juicer for example) and then squeeze or strain the result, seperating coconut milk from the chaff.

    Coconut water is just the water inside a coconut.
