Yield: 1

10 Grams Whole Black Peppercorn (Cracked)
30 Grams Whole Cinnamon Sticks (Cracked)

800 Grams Butter Spice Tea

*Ticaloid 210s is a combination of gum arabic and xantham gum. It stabilizes the syrup allowing the butter to stay emulsified
without separating. While it can be omitted the butter will separate from the rum when heated or stored which makes for a less
than ideal hot buttered rum experience. It can be found at modernistpantry.com or other specialty culinary sources
