Ingredients
¼cupwild berries
1-2teaspoonsof sugar
¼cuprum
hot water
Instructions
Pick strawberries (or any other wild fruit) in a metal cup and fill up to 1/4th.
Sprinkle some sugar on top.
Use a hand torch to caramelize the sugar. This is critical, as it also slightly cooks the top layer of berries and releases the fragrance of the fruit - the smell will bring the whole group together.
Pour on a generous portion of rum. No need for a fancy cane, we simply used the local faked rum (spelled ‘room’ for copyright reasons), admittedly distilled from potatoes.
Fill up with hot water and see how the caramel and the fruits mix themselves into a steamy, fragrant drink.
