Method

Step-by-step instructions

In a small saucepan, bring evaporated milk, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon stick to boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and steep for 30 minutes. Strain, discarding solids. Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.

In a blender, combine spiced evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, rum, egg yolks (if using), vanilla, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg in blender and blend until fully combined and foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to bottles and refrigerate until chilled.

Serve chilled, dusting with additional cinnamon and nutmeg if desired.
