Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make Peanut Punch Jamaican Style

Making peanut punch is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps to create a delicious Jamaican-style peanut punch from scratch:

Step 1: Prepare the Peanuts

Start by preparing your roasted peanuts. If you're using raw peanuts, you'll need to roast them first by placing them on a baking tray in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–15 minutes until they’re golden and fragrant. Alternatively, you can buy pre-roasted peanuts from the store for convenience.

Once the peanuts are roasted, place them in a blender or food processor and blend until you get a fine peanut butter-like paste. Don’t worry about making it too smooth, some texture adds to the richness of the punch.

Step 2: Blend the Peanut Paste

Next, add the peanut paste into the blender. To this, add the evaporated milk, water, and sweetened condensed milk. Blend these ingredients together until they form a smooth and creamy mixture. You can add more water or milk to adjust the consistency to your liking—some people prefer a thicker punch, while others like it more drinkable.

Step 3: Add Flavorings

Once your mixture is blended, add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). These ingredients enhance the flavor profile, giving the peanut punch its signature Jamaican twist. Blend again to combine everything thoroughly. Taste the mixture and adjust the sugar level if needed. If you like your peanut punch sweeter, feel free to add more sugar to taste.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once everything is well-blended, pour your peanut punch into glasses over ice cubes if desired. For an extra touch, you can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick. Now, your authentic Jamaican-style peanut punch is ready to be enjoyed!

Tips for Making the Best Jamaican Peanut Punch

Adjust sweetness: You can adjust the sweetness of your peanut punch by adding more or less sugar or condensed milk. If you prefer a less sweet punch, reduce the sugar.
Consistency: The thickness of your peanut punch depends on how much liquid you add. If you like it thicker, use less water or milk. For a lighter, more refreshing version, add more liquid.
For extra flavor: Some people like to add a splash of rum for an extra kick, especially for an adult version of the drink.
Chill before serving: For the best taste, refrigerate your peanut punch for a couple of hours before serving, as the flavors will meld together and intensify.
