Hey Guys and Gals! White rum infused with fresh mint. Add lime and soda and you have a mojito.
Ingredients
Step 1
3 cups white rum
1 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
Step 2 (optional)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Directions
1. Rinse the mint and pat it dry. Bruise it lightly and place it in a jar with the rum.
2. Steep 1 to 2 days in a cool, dark place. Taste at 24 hours. Mint left too long turns grassy and brown.
3. Strain through moistened cheesecloth, then a coffee strainer if needed.
4. Optional: boil the water, stir in the sugar until dissolved, let cool and add to taste.
