Ingredients
Tea ingredients
- 1 ½ cups water
- ¼ ounze fresh ginger (about 1 inch piece)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 star anise
- 6 cloves
Orange Coquito ingredients
- 13.5 ounces coconut milk
- 15 ounces cream of coconut
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 14 ounces condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon extracto de china
- 4 ounces triple sec
- 4 ounce rum
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over high heat, add water, ginger, cinnamon sticks, 3 star anise, and the cloves. Cook for 10 minutes. Strain the infusion and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a blender or large pitcher, combine 1 cup of tea, the coconut milk and cream, evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, orange extract, triple sec, and rum. Blend on high speed for 1 minute. Serve immediately over ice or chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
- Rum. The brand of liqueur I used was Cointreau.
- Non-alcoholic. Simply omit adding alcohol. But we still need the orange flavor, so add a little more orange extract and orange zest.
- Yield. Each drink is a little over 240 ml (8 ounces), not including the 30 ml (1 ounce) of rum and triple sec.
- Always leave some space when filling your coquito bottle. This is because you need to stir the drink before serving. This is because the coconut milk and cream solidify as they cool.
