King Cake Cachaça
Makes ~4 cups

- 2 scraped vanilla beans
- 2 handfulls toasted pecans
- 2 handfulls golden raisins
- 4 whole nutmegs, ground
- 2 whole cinnamon sticks
Combine all ingredients in a large airtight container, and allow to infuse for 5-7 days, agitating occasionally to infuse flavors. Be sure to hang on to the empty cachaça bottle. Strain through a cheesecloth or 200 micron filter before storing in the empty bottle, which can keep for 3 months at room temperature.
