• 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• Pinch of ground cloves
• Pinch of salt
• ½ cup white rum (or dark for deeper flavor; omit for non-alcoholic)
• Ground cinnamon (for dusting)


Instructions

  1. In a blender or large pitcher, combine coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Blend or whisk until smooth and frothy.
  2. Stir in rum (if using).
  3. Chill at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let flavors meld.
  4. Serve cold in small glasses, dusted with cinnamon on top.
