Mix together the coconut milk and sugar (may replace with maple syrup or 1 tablespoon clover honey--see notes below) until the sugar is dissolved. Place the milk into the freezer for 5-10 minutes to chill until very cold.
Remove from the freezer and add the ice cubes to the coconut milk. Slowly pour the orange juice into the milk while stirring constantly. This keeps the milk from
curdling. Serve immediately with a sprig of mint if desired.
