Method

Preparation of Rum Base

  1. 1

    Create Molasses Mixture

    In a large pot, combine 2 cups of molasses with 4 cups of water. Stir the mixture well until the molasses is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Yeast and Sugar

    Once the molasses mixture is thoroughly combined, add 2 teaspoons of yeast and 1 cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  3. 3

    Fermentation

    Cover the pot with a cloth and let it sit in a warm place for about 5 to 7 days, allowing fermentation to occur. Bubbles should form as the yeast activates.

Flavoring the Rum

  1. 4

    Add Flavorings

    After the fermentation period, add 1 tablespoon of lime zest, 1 teaspoon of coconut extract, and the whole vanilla bean (split open) to the fermented mixture. Stir well to integrate the flavors.

Distillation Process

  1. 5

    Prepare for Distillation

    Set up your distillation apparatus according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure your equipment is clean to avoid contamination.

  2. 6

    Add Charcoal

    Place 1 cup of charcoal in the distillation apparatus to help filter the rum during the distillation process.

  3. 7

    Distill the Mixture

    Pour the flavored fermented mixture into the distillation apparatus and begin the distillation process. Collect the distillate in clean bottles.
