Ingredients
Spice Coquito Tea
- 1 ½ cups water
- ¼ ounce fresh ginger (1 inch piece)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 star anise
- 6 cloves
Strawberry Coquito Mix
- 8 ounces strawberries
- 13.5 ounces coconut milk
- 15 ounces cream of coconut
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 14 ounces condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup rum optional
Instructions
- Prepare the spice tea. In a small pot over high heat, add all the tea ingredients. Add the water, ginger, 2 cinnamon sticks, 3 star anise, and 6 cloves. Cook for 10 minutes, strain, and let it cool down before adding to the rest of the mix.
- Make the strawberry coquito mix. In a blender, add your strawberry, 1 cup of the tea, coconut milk and cream, the evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and rum. Mix for 1 minute on high.
- Bottle the coquito in a glass bottle or a large pitcher. Serve immediately over ice and garnish. Buen provecho.
Notes
- Strawberry. I used frozen strawberries, but you can use fresh strawberries or canned strawberries if you like.
- Yield. Each drink is a little over 8 ounces, and that's without the ounce of rum.
- When filling up your coquito bottles, make sure to leave at least 2 inches at the top so you can mix before serving.
