Dark rum is the key to this syrup, but because it is cooked, the alcohol evaporates, leaving only the iconic taste.
Ingredients
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup dark rum
⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small saucepan, stir together sugar, rum, and salt until well combined. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
