Coconut water keeps it light and refreshing.

Pour 1.5 cups of water into a pot.

Add 8 cloves and 3 cinnamon sticks to the water.

Turn on the heat and let it boil for 5 to 10 minutes until the water changes color to brown.

Strain the mixture and set it aside to cool down.

Open all the cans of coconut products.

In a blender, add the cream of coconut first, followed by the sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut milk, and evaporated coconut milk.

Blend the mixture until well mixed (does not need to be blended for long).

Pour in the entire bottle of Bacardi rum (750 milliliters).

Add a few drops of vanilla extract to the mixture.

Pour the cooled cinnamon and clove tea into the blender with the other ingredients.

Taste the mixture and adjust the flavor with more powdered cinnamon if desired.

Pour the coquito into storage bottles (may need 2-3 bottles).

Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.
