    Coquito Tradicional
    Makes about 5 ½ liters

    60 oz. / 5 cans evaporated milk
    60 oz. / 4 cans cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)
    2 Tbsp. good-quality vanilla extract
    6 long cinnamon sticks (preferably Mexican cinnamon)
    3 Tbsp. ground nutmeg
    4 whole star anise
    6 whole cloves
    2 liters aged Puerto Rican rum

    Add all of the ingredients, except the rum, to a large pot and bring to a boil, stirring to combine. Immediately remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Add the rum and stir, then strain out the solids, saving the cinnamon sticks and discarding the rest. Using an immersion blender (or a blender, working in batches), blend for at least 90 seconds. Bottle for use or for gifting, adding a cinnamon stick to each bottle. Keep refrigerated. To serve, pour chilled into a small cup or glass (or add to coffee), and grate fresh nutmeg or cinnamon on top, if desired.
