Ingredients

• 2 whole Vanilla beans
• 750 ml Dark or spiced rum
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. Gather your ingredients. Ensure you have a clean, sterile glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid to store the vanilla-infused rum.

Step 2

2. Split the vanilla beans lengthwise using a sharp knife, exposing the tiny seeds inside while keeping the beans intact at one end. This allows maximum flavor to infuse into the rum.

Step 3

3. Place the split vanilla beans into the glass bottle or jar.

Step 4

4. If using sugar, add it to the jar at this stage. The sugar is optional and adds a touch of sweetness to the final product.

Step 5

5. Pour the dark or spiced rum over the vanilla beans, filling the jar completely. Make sure the beans are fully submerged.

Step 6

6. Seal the bottle or jar tightly and give it a gentle shake to mix the sugar, if added.

Step 7

7. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, shaking it gently every few days. For a stronger vanilla flavor, infuse the rum for up to 4 weeks.

Step 8

8. After the infusion period, taste the rum and adjust if needed. You can strain out the vanilla pods for a smoother finish or keep them in the bottle for ongoing flavor development.

Step 9

9. Your Rhum Vanille is now ready to use. Enjoy it in cocktails, desserts, or straight as a flavorful sipping rum.
