My most recent trip to Paris ended with a last meal at my favorite African restaurant, Waly Fay. We'd come here almost weekly with friends when I was living in Paris. Yes, the food is amazing, but what I missed most was the ginger-infused rum. Not only do you feel warm and jolly after only one, but it somehow perfectly complements the heavy, flavorful food. Check out some photos of the delicious starters here by my friend Bonie Rose.
Again, (these places with their delicious rum drinks and secret recipes!) no one will let you know exactly what goes in, but here's how to make your own at home:
GINGER INFUSED RUM - RHUM GINGEMBRE
What you'll need:
-Your favorite white rum. You don't want spiced rum for this!
-one or two ginger roots, depending on size (you want about a cup once diced)
-brown sugar
-one vanilla pod (optional)
-mason jar
-lime for serving
Scrub the ginger using a vegetable brush. Do not peel. Dice ginger into tiny pieces and put in jar. Fill jar with rum, add about four tablespoons of brown sugar and vanilla pod if desired. Store in a dark place for about a month. Strain the rum and serve over ice with the juice of half a lime, and a little more sugar if you like it sweeter.
Cheers!
