In a very large bowl, mix together the milk and sugar
Microwave on high for 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar, stir 2 - 3 times
Microwave on high for approximately 6 minutes more, or until the soft ball stage occurs (To test this, drop a little of the mixture into a saucer of cold water. When gathered up between finger and thumb it should form a soft ball.)
Stir every 2 minutes and start testing after 4 minutes
Stir in the coconut and continue stirring until the mixture turns cloudy
Grease a 15cm/6-inch square tin and spread half the mixture into this
Tint the remaining mixture a pale pink with cochineal or pale yellow with food colouring and spread over the white mixture
When cool, mark into squares
When cold, cut into neat pieces and store in an airtight tin.
