Ingredients
For the tea:
- 1 cup water
- 8 allspice berries
- 6 whole cloves
- 5 star anise
- 3 large cinnamon sticks
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the coquito:
- 1 can cream of coconut (15 oz) (COCO LOPEZ IS THE BEST BRAND)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
- 1 cup evaporated milk (this is about half the can!)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup white rum (Don Q is my favorite. You can add more or less rum to taste!)
- 1/4 cup spiced rum or dark rum (I like Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, or Don Q 151)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan set over medium, boil the water. Add the allspice, cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Steep the tea, strain it and cool it.
- In a high powered blender, add cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Pulse until smooth and fully combined. If using a smaller blender, blend in batches.
- Pour the milk mixture into a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup of the tea mixture to the milk mixture. Whisk in the rum, ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Pour the coquito into 2 (750ml) bottles, cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Shake before serving ice cold.
