Gather all ingredients: Haitian rum, evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream of coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, anise, cinnamon sticks, vanilla extract, lime, and anise seeds.

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except the lime and anise seeds.

Whisk the mixture until creamy. A blender can be used, but whisking is preferred for a better texture.

Grate lime on top of the mixture for added flavor.

Add powdered cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the mixture.

For presentation, garnish the drinks with a cinnamon stick and sprinkle anise seeds on top.

Serve the drink in a bowl or glass, and enjoy it throughout the year, especially during gatherings.
