         HOMEMADE ORANGE LIQUEUR

                       Ingredients:

                       12 orange peels (see below)

                       1 1/2 cups vodka

                       1 1/2 cups sugar

                       6  cup water

                       1/4 lemon or lime peel

   Method:

    1.  Using an apple peeler, carefully peel just the rind of the oranges,

    discarding the white pith from the 12 oranges and the 1/4 lemon or lime,

    and put this outer layer of peels in a jar.

    2.  Boil sugar and water together for 30 minutes, allow to cool before adding.

    3.  Seal the jar, allowing the mixture to steep for 4 weeks. Shake lightly, daily.

    Store in a dark cool place.

    4.  Strain and filter well with cheese cloth or cloth filter before storing in a

    sealed container.

 

 

     NOTE: Even an, almost, undetectable hint of scent can ruin the liqueur flavor.

                 Wash containers EXTREMELY WELL and dry completely.
