Kahlúa coquito (Eggnog)

Here is another recipe for coquito. If you love coffee you will definitely love this recipe! The eggnog a lot of people know use eggs as a base. However these recipes don’t use eggs and here in Puerto Rico are known as coquito. Hope you guys enjoy this coquito post. May this New Year bring you a lot of blessings!

Reminder:

I won’t be able to put pictures of the recipes for a while because my camera decided to die, which makes me really sad. But as soon as it’s fixed I’ll make the recipe again and post the pictures!

Ingredients:

1 can of condensed milk

1 can of evaporated milk

1 can of coconut cream

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

½ teaspoon of cinnamon

¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves

1 cup of kahlúa

Procedure:

Put all the ingredients in an osterizer. Mix everything well for 30 seconds. Put the mixture in individual bottles as gifts or put it in a big bottle and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Remember to shake it well before serving. You can drink it as a shot or on the rocks.

Ginger Tea

Hi! I know, I know it’s been a while since I last posted a recipe… let’s just say life happened and sometimes there’s nothing you can do about it. But this next year I’m back on track. I hope this new year 2013 brings a lot of joy and love to everyone! This year I’m gonna start with a tea recipe. I found it in the Food Network magazine volume 6 number one. This will be like the recipe of the magazine, but I will be giving it my own spin.

 You must be thinking, “why would she do something like that!?”  Well the answer to that is that this year I want to try different things, get out of my comfort zone, try new things and start making what makes me really happy. I wanna dedicate this post to my little brother whom I love with all my heart! Thanks for inspiring me to be better and awesome! ;)

The result: the ginger is a little bit spicy for me, but it tastes good.  I prefer this tea iced rather than hot. So here’s something new and different; and even though it’s not completely my cup of tea I enjoyed it and am thinking about making it different to fit me and my needs.  Stay tuned… tomorrow I will be giving in the next post my spin of this recipe! 

Hope you guys enjoy this tea! Until the next one. It’s good to be back!
