    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

    Cool the Mixture

    Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a bottle or jar.

Storage

    Bottle the Rum

    Pour the cooled rum into a clean glass bottle or jar, seal it tightly, and store it in a cool, dark place.
