Instructions
- Cinnamon Tea: Put 1 ½ cups of water, 3 cinnamon sticks and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon powder in a small pot and boil for 3-5 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature. Reserve 1 cup of this tea to add to the mixture.
- Mango Puree: Peel and cut the mangos. Puree in a blender until it has a soft and creamy consistency. Pass the mango puree through the strainer, pressing with a spoon to make sure no mango fibers remain.
- Blend: Combine the coconut cream, coconut milk, evaporated milk and condensed milk, vanilla, one cup of cinnamon tea and ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional to taste) and blend on high for a minute.
- Note: For a low-capacity blender, divide the milk mixture in half. Add one cup of mango puree per batch. Pour both batches into a bowl and stir to mix well before bottling.
- Bottling: Use a funnel to facilitate pouring the mango coquito mixture into the bottles. Optional: Add ¾ cup of white rum per bottle. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Shake well before serving. Serve chilled.
