Using a clean screw driver and a hammer, pierce a hole into each of the 3 "eyes" of the coconut. Drain the coconut water inside. Once the water is drained, place the coconut on a clean kitchen towel. Wrap the towel around the coconut, and prepare to bash away! Bash the heck out of the coconut with a hammer or meat mallet, and separate the meat from the shell using a knife or a spoon. Chop up the coconut meat into chunks. Toss the coconut pieces into a blender with 2 cups of hot water. Blend on high for 1 minute. Pour the water/coconut pulp mixture into a strainer. Using a spatula, press the pulp down and extract as much liquid as you can. Pour the pulp onto the cheese cloth, wrap it into a tight ball, and squeeze every last drop out. Pour the coconut milk into a storage container, and refrigerate. Use within 2 days.
