Coconut milk is generally considered cold in its natural state as it is the aqueous extract of coconut kernel.
Coconut milk is not inherently hot or cold in temperature. It's the cold aqueous extract of the coconut kernel. However, it can be served at different temperatures depending on how it's being used:
-
Cold: Coconut milk is often used cold or at room temperature in beverages, desserts, and chilled dishes.
-
Hot: Coconut milk can also be heated and used in curries, soups, and other cooked dishes.
Therefore, whether coconut milk is served hot or cold depends entirely on its application in a particular recipe or use case.
