Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved, and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
-
Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
-
After the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a minute.
-
Carefully stir in the rum and vanilla extract. Be cautious, as the mixture may bubble up a bit when the rum is added.
-
Once the rum and vanilla are fully incorporated, return the saucepan to low heat and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes. This will allow the alcohol to cook off slightly, leaving behind a rich rum flavor.
-
Remove the Rum Syrup from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
-
Drizzle this delicious syrup over your favorite desserts like pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or cakes. It's also great on fresh fruit salads or as a sweet glaze for grilled pineapple or peaches.
-
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you're ready to use it again, simply reheat gently in a saucepan or in the microwave until warm.
