Orange
Whole Oranges
- 3 whole sweet oranges, cut into wedges
- 1/2 lemon
- 2 whole cloves
- 3 cups vodka
- 1 cup sugar syrup
Place the oranges, lemon, cloves and vodka in a jar (vodka should
cover the fruit) and steep 10 days. Strain and filter. Add sugar
syrup. Mature 3-4 weeks. Yield: 4 cups.
Orange Peels
- Peels only from 4 medium size oranges, scraped and cut into
large chunks
- 3 cups vodka
- 1 cup sugar syrup
Combine all into aging container. Steep 2-3 weeks. (Extra peels
can be added to the mixture as you eat more oranges, but they must
be scraped.) Strain and filter, add syrup, let mature. Yield: 4
cups.
Orange Juice
- 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) freshly squeezed orange juice
- Scraped and sliced peel of one orange
- 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) vodka or half vodka and half brandy
- 1 cup sugar syrup
Combine juice, orange peel, alcohol. Steep 4 weeks. Strain and
filter. Add sugar syrup. Yield: 4 cups.
[Note: original recipe said "12 ounces (4 1/2 cups) orange
juice", but I think they meant 1 1/2 cups.]
Orange Extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extract (pure, not "imitation")
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 pinch caraway
- 1 pinch coriander
- 3 cups brandy or vodka
- 1 cup sugar syrup
Mix all the ingredients (including syrup) in the bottle and steep
a few days. Yield: 4 cups.
Optional Flavorings
For any or all of the above orange recipes, a pinch or 1/4 teaspoon
cinnamon, coriander, whole cloves, or a piece of lemon peel scraped
and cut. Also consider using honey instead of sugar syrup.
