1 cup water
6 oz. white rum
½ cup baking Stevia
½ cup mint leaves
2 cups toasted Coconut flakes
¼ cup honey

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare a mint simple syrup by combining baking Stevia, 1 cup water and mint leaves in a small pot. Stir to mix ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cooking for 5-10 minutes. Strain the mint and reserve the syrup. Place syrup in a small container to cool. Take a long cookie sheet and spread coconut flakes out onto the sheet. Toast them on broil for about 5-10 minutes. Do not let them burn. Take one of the glasses you plan to serve your guests, and coat or dip the rim in honey. Dip glass into the coconut flakes. Combine lime juice, rum, milk, reserved syrup and ice to a blender and blend on high until desired consistency. Pour mixture into dressed glass. Garnish with remaining mint leaves and coconut leaves.
