liquid

Brandy or rum

4.6 g1 teaspoon

14 g1 tablespoon

Spirit density about 0.94 g/ml; 4.93 ml tsp gives about 4.6 g.

Nothing matches the warm alcoholic flavour exactly; if alcohol is unwanted, omit it and add 20 g water with a pinch of sugar.

• 
  Dark rum

  Use the same weight as brandy; it is sweeter, so reduce any added sugar slightly.

• 
  Coconut liquor

  Use 70–75% of the weight; it is pungent and strong, so add it off the heat and adjust sugar.

• 
  Rice beer or rice wine

  Use the same weight; it is lower in alcohol and more sour, so reduce other liquids slightly and taste for sugar.
