Start by making the spiced tea with nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and fresh ginger.

In a saucepan, warm up water and add all the spices.

Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, avoiding boiling.

After 20 minutes, strain the tea and set it aside to cool.

In a blender, add 1 can of condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, and 1 can of cream of coconut.

Add 1 tablespoon of almond vanilla extract (or 1/2 tablespoon each of vanilla and almond extract).

Pour in 1/2 cup of the cooled spiced tea into the blender.

Blend the mixture until smooth.

Set aside some of the mixture for kids (virgin coquito).

For the adult version, add 1 cup of white rum to the blender and blend again.
