Steps
- (Optional) In a small pot, add water and anise. Gently boil for 2-3 minutes. Let it cool completely, remove the anise from the water.
- In a blender, add all of the ingredients. If you omit the rum, you might want to add a little water to cut some of the sweetness. (Depending on size of the blender, you may have to do this in batches.)
- Pour into old rum bottles or any liquor bottles or place in a sealed container and then refrigerate. Refrigerate for at least an hour or two before serving.
- Garnish with ground cinnamon and cinnamon sticks, if desired
