Ingredients
Coquito tea
- 1 ½ cups water
- ¼ ounce fresh ginger about 1 inch piece
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 star anise
- 6 cloves
Mint coquito mix
- 13.5 ounces coconut milk
- 15 ounces cream of coconut
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 14 ounces condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 5 mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
Instructions
- Make the tea. In a small pot over high heat, add the water, ginger, 2 cinnamon sticks, 3 star anise, and 6 cloves. Cook for 10 minutes. Strain the tea and let it cool to room temperature.
- Make the mint coquito mix. In a blender or large pitcher, add 1 cup of tea, coconut milk and cream, the evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon, mint leaves, mint extract, and rum. Mix for 1 minute on high.
- You can serve immediately over ice. Or bottle the coquito in a glass bottle or serve immediately over ice and garnish. Buen provecho.
Notes
- The rum is always optional, so add it if you want or leave it out.
- If you want to give this recipe the best twist ever, add a chocolate-based liquor. Baileys is a great option!
- Each drink is a little over 8 ounces, and that's without the ounce of rum.
- Always leave space when filling up your coquito bottle. This is because you have to mix the drink before pouring. This is due to the coconut milk and coconut cream solidifying when cold.
