Was doing some research for a friend's project and came across some interesting information on coconut milk/water. Seems can possibly be used for soil applications, teas and maybe as a dilute foliar?
Found a nice scientific writeup from a top notch raw material supplier for the nutritional industry that provides detailed info. First line from the pdf reads...
Some constituents include amino acids, sugars, cytokins, RNA, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, sulphur. There's a decent amount of sodium and chlorides though. Considering coconuts grow in tropical areas at sea level not surprised.
One interesting study showed that coconut water promotes beneficial intestinal bacteria growth so possible implications for teas/soil use.
Anyway...sometimes I use green coconut meat in smoothies and toss most the water cause not my thing. Some goes into the smoothie. The liquid is a bit too sweet straight for me.

Cococin is freeze dried coconut water solids so guessing they're concentrating the liquid before drying somehow because freeze drying straight coconut water would be hella expensive due to the low solid content.Coconut water is the liquid endosperm of Cocos nucifera L used as a supplement for the growth of plant tissue cultures.
