Homemade Spiced Rum

Combine Ingredients and place in a cool dark location for at least 2 days.   Strain with cheesecloth and bottle. 

Ingredients:
750ml aged rum
2 vanilla beans

(2) 2" orange peels with no pith

1 cinnamon stick

5 all spice berries

1 clove

5 small black peppercorns

1/4 whole nutmeg grated

2 ginger slices (quarter sized)

2 cardamom pods

1/2 star anise (I don't use this)

Note: Could add a simple syrup perhaps with brown sugar to make it for sipping. Amp up vanilla flavor by adding a tsp of double fold vanilla extract
