  • 50 g of brown sugar

Steps for preparing vanilla rum

Prepare yourself for a unique sensory experience by carefully following the steps of the vanilla rum recipe :

1. Prepare the vanilla pods

Carefully split the vanilla pods in half with a knife. Be sure to keep the small seeds inside; they add a rich flavor.

2. Pour the rum into the jar

Carefully transfer the white agricultural rum into the airtight jar. Make sure the jar is clean and dry.

3. Add the vanilla to the rum

Place both halves of the vanilla bean into the rum. The natural vanilla flavors will slowly infuse.

4. Add the tonka beans

Cut the tonka beans in half or thirds and add them to the jar. If you notice that the beans are taking up too much of the rum's flavor, you can easily remove them by straining the rum.

5. Pour in the brown sugar

Add the brown sugar to the jar with the rest of the ingredients. This will sweeten the rum.

6. Seal the jar and let it macerate

Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place. Let the vanilla-flavored rum steep for at least 6 months to allow the flavors to fully infuse. Vanilla takes a long time to fully infuse.
