Allspice Dram

• portions: 1 serving
• temps actif: 25 minutes
• temps total: 10 days 25 minutes

Ingrédients

1/2 cup allspice berries

2 1/2 cups navy-strength rum

1 cup sugar

Instructions

Heat a heavy skillet over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Toast the allspice berries until fragrant, about 1 minute, then roughly crush.

Combine the rum and crushed allspice berries in a quart-sized glass jar, seal the lid tightly and give it a good shake. Steep for 10 days.

Strain the allspice-infused rum through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan and add the sugar. Heat over low, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature before storing in a glass jar or bottle.
