First cut open the coconut in the middle and drain coconut water in a bowl - I used grated coconut as I had it in stock, but you use coconut bits too. Take the coconut in a mixer/blender, add water,sugar ,cardamom and blend it to a smooth running mixture.
Now transfer this coconut mixture to a strainer and press it with a spoon till all the milk is drained.Now the extracted milk is the first coconut milk. If you want a thin version then again add this coconut mixture and add  1/2 cup water, blend and then strain to get the 2nd thin coconut milk.
