What is vanilla rum?

vanilla rum is an alcoholic beverage made of infusion of rum with vanilla extract or vanilla beans. Many rum companies sell variations of this rum packaged and can also be made at home. Vanilla rum is used as a regular rum drink and also as an ingredient for the production of biscuits, cakes, ice creams, cocktails and various vanilla drinks. This is because vanilla extract can be quite strong and is often known to change the color of rum. If such a color change is not required, it may be best to use vanilla beans. Given that vanilla harvesting is a somewhat intense manual process, the price of quality vanilla beans can be quite expensive. If you want to use them in the production of vanilla rum, the beans are divided in half and the black pulp inside is selected. Beans and pulp is then boiled in a water -school clock before the water becomes a well -filled vanilla taste.

water fillingVanilla and cooked beans are now added to a bottle, which is half filled with rum. If a regular rum bottle is purchased, half of the rum should be poured and placed in another container to create space for water infusion. A rum bottle with water filled with vanilla and boiled vanilla beans should then be stored, away from direct sunlight and left to sit for about six months to a year. At this time, the rum will accept a strong vanilla taste.

If vanilla beans are not available, vanilla extract should be used in medium quantities. It can be mixed with water and then added to the rum or can be added directly to the rum. If too much vanilla extract is used, it can change the color of the rum and perhaps also lead to an excessive vanilla flavor.

In order to be vanilla rum last for a long time, it should be in a container with airtight cap. Rum can be drunk as it is or can be diluted with water, cola, soda, coconut mby a drug or lime juice. Vanilla Rum makes an excellent drink in the summer and is included in many refreshing recipes for cocktails.
