SPICED RUM VANILLA EXTRACT

Category: Miscellaneous

1 (750 ml) bottle spiced rum with screw cap (Captain Morgan)
8 whole vanilla beans
time and patience

Remove 1/4 cup of rum from the bottle to allow for liquid displacement. Carefully cut a slit, without piercing through, down the length of each vanilla bean. Carefully add each bean to the bottle of rum. Replace the cap and gently mix by tipping the bottle. Allow to sit in a cool dark place for 6-8 weeks. Occasionally tip the bottle to blend the flavors.
