Ava's Thyme Infused Rum
Two techniques for infusing thyme into rum — a 24-hour steep or sous vide method.
Use a light rum with a little funk — Plantation 3 Star works well.
Cold steep method: Weigh out 75g of thyme. Add to a 750ml bottle of rum in a sealed container. Let sit for 24 hours. Strain through a chinois with a coffee filter.
Sous vide method: Vacuum seal 75g thyme with 750ml rum. Set sous vide to 140°F. Cook for 1 hour. Transfer to ice bath to cool. Strain.
The cold steep changes the color more than sous vide. Either way, the flavor will be there. Label "Thyme Infused Rum."
