Description
A delicious holiday drink very popular in Cuba.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 teaspoon anise seeds
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 (750 milliliter) bottle 151 proof rum (such as Bacardi®)
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
- 1. Bring water, sugar, and anise seeds to a boil in a saucepan; lower heat to medium-low. Simmer until thick and syrupy, about 10 more minutes. Remove from heat and pour through a strainer to separate the seeds out; set syrup aside to cool slightly.
