A specialty from the islands to present to your guests for an aperitif, how about that? All homemade, of course, to add the flavors of your choice (fruits and/or spices, herbs) ;-) Let's get started on making our infused rum! You might almost feel like you're in Réunion, Guadeloupe, or Madagascar!

Ingredients

24 ounces white rum
2 cinnamon sticks
2 vanilla beans
1/3 cup brown sugar (to taste)

Estimated cost: 3.11€ (0.21€/serving)

Materials

An empty glass bottle

Preparation

Pour the rum into the glass bottle.
Add the brown sugar, the vanilla beans split in half, and the cinnamon sticks.
Close the bottle and gently shake it. Let it macerate for at least 3 months in a dark and cool place. Regularly shake the bottle until the sugar is fully dissolved (about 1 week).
And there you have it, your infused rum is ready to enjoy!

Excessive alcohol consumption is harmful to health, please drink responsibly.

Observations

Rum: preferably use white rum. However, if you only have dark rum, that will work too ;-)

Macération: it should be at least 3 months but can be much longer. However, be careful with fruits, as there are maceration times not to exceed.

Vanilla beans: perfect for reusing vanilla beans that have been used in other preparations.
