There's a beautiful vegetarian restaurant called Zemi's on the
beach in Phillipsburg, St. Maarten.

* Can be made from fresh or dried coconut or purchased bottled. Do
not use the canned coconut mix for mixed drinks as it is very sweet
and different.

Fresh Coconut:

Cut coconut meat into 1" pieces & place equal amounts of coconut &
hot water in food processor or blender. Puree at high speed for a
couple of minutes, let steep for 30 minutes. Then pour into a
strainer set over a bowl. Press on the pulp and squeeze by the
handful to extract as milk as possible. Pour the milk through a
fine-mesh strainer.

Dried Coconut:

Use 1 cup unsweetened, dried coconut with 1-1/2 cup hot tap water.
Allow to stand for 5 minutes. Puree one minute and proceed as
above. Will keep up to 3 days refrigerated and indefinitely, if
frozen.

Smoothie:

Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Yield: 1 Serving
