Ingredients
  

  • Freshly Grated Coconut: 1 cup
  • Warm Water: 2 cups for extracting coconut milk
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1 can 14 ounces
  • Evaporated Milk: 1 can 12 ounces
  • White Rum: 1/2 cup optional; adjust to taste or omit for non-alcoholic version
  • Cinnamon Sticks: 2
  • Ground Cinnamon: For garnishing
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Nutmeg: A pinch

Instructions
 

  • Preparing The Coconut Base: Begin by blending the freshly grated coconut with warm water. Strain the mixture to extract the coconut milk, ensuring a smooth base for your tea.
  • Combining The Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Stir until well combined.
  • Enhancing The Flavor: Add the vanilla extract, a pinch of nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks. Stir these aromatic ingredients, letting the flavors meld together.
  • Adding The Rum: For those who prefer the traditional version, add white rum to the mixture. This step is optional, and the tea is equally delightful without it.
  • Chilling And Serving: Refrigerate the mixture for at least two hours. Serve chilled garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth.
