I tweak it to what I feel more or less as far as the Bay,or cloves or lime EO 1 cup rum 1 cup witch hazel 1/4 cup moonshine tblsp glycerine teaspoon cloves tblsp whole allspice 3 cinnamon sticks zest of a whole orange Aura Cacia Bay Essential Oil Lime EO I shake it once or twice a day,for two weeks ,then strain through a coffee filter and bottle it.
I ended up putting more rum in than a cup,then added more moonshine ,then more witch hazel and ended up with 32 oz. in a mason jar because of all the spices,It got dark after two weeks,but I love it.So does my wife. I also in a little bottle put half witch hazel,half moonshine,a little glycerine added sandalwood and Lavender EO.She liked that more,but I like the bay rum better. Good luck,its a lot of fun and smells great
Let me know how you make out with your bay rum.You will save money in the long run because a bottle of like say Royall is $30+.I yield 32 ounces every time I make it and give out to friends.They love it.The Bay essential oil goes a long way.Week to your desire,I put more allspice and clove second time I made it.You can use any cheap dark rum OR Captain Morgans.Plus its fun to make and kind of rewarding,if that makes any sense.
