Instructions
Optional Pre-Preparation – Homemade Condensed Coconut Milk
- Take your can of coconut milk into a small stockpot and bring it over medium heat. Let the coconut milk come to a boil after 4-5 minutes, then reduce the heat to a simmer
- Next, add in your honey and whisk in vigorously into the boiling coconut milk. Whisk for at least a minute to make sure all the honey dissolves into the coconut milk
- Once well integrated, let your pot simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes. The liquid should reduce by at least 1/3 and become a more golden color, at which point it’s ready to go. If you want to let it reduce for more, that’s fine too
- When ready, take your reduced coconut milk off the heat, and proceed to preparing your coquito
Stage 1 – Blending Coquito Ingredients
- In a large blender, add in your egg yolks, rum, water, coconut milk, condensed milk and vanilla extract
- On a medium or high setting, blend your ingredients together until they’re well mixed
- Next, add in your ground cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, then blend again
- Place your blended coquito into the fridge, and let it sit for at least 10 mins as it cools down
Stage 2 – Preparing Glass
- When the coquito is cooled, take it from the fridge and pour it into glasses for all your merry guests
- Sprinkle the top of the coquito with pinches of ground cinnamon, nutmeg or coconut flakes, and enjoy!
