How to cook deliciously - Coquito (Puerto Rican Coconut Eggnog)

1. Stage

Steep the spices: Place the sweetened condensed milk, cream of coconut, evaporated milk, coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon sticks, and nutmeg (all the ingredients except the rum) in a large saucepan. Warm over medium-high heat until just starting to simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let infuse for 30 minutes.

2. Stage

Mix in the rum: Remove the cinnamon sticks and the vanilla bean (if using) and pour the mixture into a punch bowl or pitcher. (Note: I rinse and dry the vanilla bean and cinnamon sticks, and save them future infusions such as rice pudding .) Add 1 cup of rum and taste; add more rum for a stronger punch. I usually stick to around 2 cups as I prefer it strong.

3. Stage

Chill: Chill this in the fridge for at least 2 hours or for up to 3 days.

4. Stage

Serve: Serve neat or over ice in small portions. Garnish with grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon as desired. Did you love the recipe? How do you like to make coquito? Tell us all about it in the comments!
