Heiße Rum-Feige

Peel the fresh fig, and if using canned figs, ensure they are well-drained. Make crosswise incisions into the fig without cutting all the way through, then place it in a heat-resistant glass along with the cane sugar cubes.

Crush the whole anise finely, if desired, and sprinkle it over the fig and sugar.

Pour the rum over the fig, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow the mixture to steep briefly.

Brew the black tea freshly, preferably with a hint of vanilla. Pour the hot tea over the fig and rum mixture.

Sweeten to taste and enjoy.
