How to Make Buko Juice or Coconut Milk Drink

Buko juice is a popular refreshing drink from the Philippines. "Buko" is a Filipino word which means "young coconut" in English. Hence, Buko juice is also known as Coconut Milk Drink. There are two ways to prepare a Buko juice, one is by using fresh coconut juice from the coconut fruit, the other way is by using canned Buko juice concentrate purchased from groceries carrying Asian products. Either way, they offer a refreshing and healthy drink. Buko juice is known to help cure UTI (Urinary Tract Infection).
