rum

🥗Healthier: coconut water

💰Cheaper: non-alcoholic rum flavoring

Coconut water adds sweetness without alcohol.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Almond milk is lower in calories.

Boil water in a pot.

Add almonds to the boiling water and stir.

After about a minute, check if the almonds can be easily peeled; if so, remove them from the water.

Peel the almonds and set them aside.

In another pot, heat milk until it begins to boil, watching closely to avoid spilling.

Once the milk boils, turn off the heat and let it cool, removing the cinnamon and cloves afterward.

Blend the peeled almonds with sugar and egg yolks until smooth.

Add the cooled milk to the almond mixture and blend until well combined.

Pour in ½ cup of vodka (or to taste) and blend again until mixed well.
