The National Drink of Puerto Rico. Think Eggnog with coconut instead of eggs and milk. This recipe is a take on Roberto Berdecia’s from La Factoria, San Jaun, Puerto Rico.
Ingredients:
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 whole cloves
- 3 allspice berries
- 2 star anise
- 250 – 300 ml Gold Rum
- 15 oz. (1 can) coconut milk
- 15 oz. (1 can) cream of coconut (such as Coco López)
- 15 oz. (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
Directions:
- In a sauce pan, combine spices and the coconut milk.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer on low-medium heat for 30 minutes
- Allow to cool completely.
- Strain the cooled coconut milk into a blender and add the cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk.
- Measure the volume (should be 900 – 1000 ml). Add about 1/3 of that volume of Rum to taste. (If the volume of milks and cream is 900 ml, add 300 ml of Rum)
- Blend until thoroughly mixed and frothy.
- Chill well before serving.
- Garnish with graded cinnamon
Cheers!
