Hot Vanilla with Rum and Sassafras Marshmallows. 

Hot Vanilla with Rum
1 C heavy cream
1.5 C whole milk
1/2 C rum
3 vanilla beans
1/8 C sugar

If you want the flavor of the rum without the alcohol content, set the rum on fire in a metal pot and let it burn out. (Remember to practice kitchen safety—have a lid on hand!) Otherwise, omit this step. Add the other ingredients. Simmer for ten minutes.

Strain and serve hot with sassafras marshmallows (recipe below) melting in.

Sassafras Marshmallows
2 1/2 tbsp unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 C granulated sugar
1 C light corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sassafras oil
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
