Thin coconut milk is a liquid made from the coconut flesh that has a lower fat content and a thinner consistency compared to thick coconut milk. It's essentially a diluted version of coconut milk.
Based on the provided reference, thin coconut milk is made by mixing the "gunk" (the remaining coconut pulp left in the sieve after making thick coconut milk) with half a part of water. This extracts more liquid from the pulp, resulting in a thinner, less concentrated coconut milk.
Essentially, it's a second extraction from the same coconut flesh used to make thick coconut milk. It contains less fat and has a milder coconut flavor.
