While searching for something for another thread, i came across, i guess it will be pretty cheap to try, what do we think ?
"Add to a screw top jam jar as many bay leaves as the jar will hold, crack each leaf with your fingers before adding it. Peel one small orange, tear the peel into small squares and add the peel to the jar, eat the orange!
Add 5 whole cloves, and one stick of cinnamon. Break the stick of cinnamon in half if it won't fit in the jar.
Pour into the jar a dark rum, use a cheap rum, an expensive one will not make the finished product any better, just make sure you use a DARK rum. Fill to the top.
Screw the lid on the jar and leave UNDISTURBED in a dark place for one month. DO NOT SHAKE THE JAR OR KEEP CHECKING IT, JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.
After one month, empty the contents into a strainer and throw all the solids away, put the liquid into any empty aftershave or cologne bottle and use whenever you wish.
You can use either. The more common bay leaves which you find in supermarkets work fine in this recipe, the laurel leaves are more difficult to source, are gernerally more expensive and do not improve the finished product to any marked degree."
