Ingredients
 

  • 750 ml dark/golden rum
  • 2 cm piece of fresh ginger
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 2 small cinnamon sticks
  • 1 star anise
  • 4 cardamom pods broken
  • 2 cloves
  • 1/2 tsp crushed nutmeg
  • 2 allspice berries
  • 1/2 orange zest only
  • 250 g sugar

Instructions
 

  • Put all your spices into the jar and add the rind of the orange, remember you only want the zesty outer peel not the bitter white pith.
  • Bash the ginger to release juices and add to jar.
  • Add the sugar and pour on that golden rum. Seal the jar and give it a good shake. Put in a cool dark cupboard and shake every day for the first few days to get the sugar to dissolve completely.
  • After this leave it in there to mature and infuse and become all gorgeous and spicy, 1 week or 2 at most is enough.
  • Pour the rum through cheesecloth or kitchen towels/coffee filter into a jug and decant into a pretty bottle and label.
