Side Note: How to make Vanilla Infused Rum - In this case we are using Vanilla extract rather than vanilla beans. So add 1 oz. of Vanilla extract to a jar of white rum. Give the jar a good shake. Store in a cool, dark place. For the next three to four days, take the jar out and give it a good shake. On the fourth day it is ready to be used.

Side Notes: To make the Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Simple Syrup. Take a litre of water boil with 3-5 cinnamon sticks. Then strain off after it comes to a boil.

A bar spoon is equivalent to a teaspoon so if you do not have a bar spoon handy, use a teaspoon for the Aged Balsamic Vinegar.
