7 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): -1 Coconut Milk
Explanation: This is another common usage term, and actually the way we refer to it in my house. However, as the text pasted below shows, the term to use depends on your precise context here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_milk Coconut milk (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Coconut milk is a sweet, milky white cooking base derived from the meat of a mature coconut. The colour and rich taste of the milk can be attributed to the high coconut oil content and coconut sugars. The term "coconut milk" can also refer to the watery liquid found inside the nut. This liquid, when it is found in a young coconut, is more unambiguously referred to as "coconut water" or "coconut juice." Coconut milk is a common ingredient in many tropical cuisines, most notably that of Southeast Asia (especially Thai, Singaporean Malaysian, and Sri Lankan), West African, West Indian, and Polynesian cuisines. Coconut milk can usually be found in the Asian food sections of supermarkets either frozen or canned. Frozen coconut milk tends to stay fresh longer, which is important in dishes where the coconut flavor is not competing with curries and other spicy dishes.

I liked this other title directed to "the uninitiated." Again, the choice is yours "spulici" based on what you are trying to translate. (However, sorry Robert, but coconut juice does not seem to be bona fide in the coco world). http://www.ochef.com/597.htm for the uninitiated, coconut WATER is the natural juice found inside the coconut, as opposed to coconut milk, which is made by boiling equal amounts of WATER and shredded coconut together until foamy, then straining, or coconut cream, which is made in the same manner with a ratio of four parts of shredded coconut to one part WATER. Milk can also be used in place of the WATER for a richer mix. These products are also available online and in many grocery stores, but are not to be confused with sweetened cream of coconut, which is most often used for mixed drinks.
