Failed Cinnamon Rum

I think it's important to document failures as well as successes, so that others can avoid making the same mistakes. This recipe/method was suggested by several major food blogs (naming no names) and I am left wondering if they actually made it! The liquor gained none of the flavours I think of as 'cinnamon' but instead a very bitter earthy taste.

I suspect that heat may be required to extract cinnamon flavour - boiling water or syrup with cinnamon would produce better results.

Ingredients

  • cinnamon stick
  • rum

Method

(I advise you don't try this yourself - see comment above)

  1. Leave the cinnamon stick submerged in rum for a week in the fridge.
