Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups coconut milk

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Combine the coconut milk and the sugar in a saucepan and scald over medium heat.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this coquito. The spices balance out the sweetness of the coconut milk, and the rum gives it a nice kick. I'll definitely be making this again.
