Spiced Rum Experimento !
Going with what I think are some of the usual spices, and one oddball..Fenugreek!
I used the Fenugreek very sparingly. I love it's nice maple-scent, and thought that it would go great with my spiced rum experiment! Oh, and Experiment it is! There are quite a few different recipes out there, so I decided to combine a few and see what happens. The Rum being used is one bottle of Trader Vic's.
All of the above spices were used. Well, not in those amounts necessarily! I used a sliver of the ginger, a wisp of the fenugreek, all of the vanilla beans (split), the orange zest, cinnamon stick, then some allspice, black peppercorns, and cloves! That's it!
From what I have read, things can overspice the mix very quickly! I anticipate pulling the cinnamon stick tomorrow. Maybe the ginger too...not sure yet. The vanilla is sticking around for the long haul !
Day 1 has begun!
