Default cleaning head after blown headgasket

Im working on pulling the head on my 90 base civic and the inside of the head is full of water and everything looks like its coated in chocolate milk. The head was resurfaced not long ago but the headgasket was changed by a crappy mechanic that the previous owner used and he didnt torque the bolts right. So how can i clean all the milky stuff out of the head before i replace the headgasket on the car?
