Orancello [Video+Recipe] Homemade Orange Liqueur
Serving: 10 servings
Equipment
- Clean bottle
Ingredients
- 3 oranges
- 4 cups vodka [1 liter]
- 2½ cup white sugar (or brown, see notes}
Instructions
1. Peel
- Using a potato peeler, peel the oranges, making the peel as thin as possible so that it does not include any white pith.⚠️ Use the oranges for something else; we will only be using the peel.
2. Steep
- Mix the vodka and orange peels. Put it in a clean bottle and leave it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
3. Strain
- Discard the peels and set aside the vodka.⚠️ If there are any solids, strain through a fine strainer or clean cotton cloth.
4. Make syrup
- In a saucepan, combine ¼ cup of water and the sugar and simmer over low heat until it begins to change color. Immediately remove from heat and stir for a few seconds to lower the temperature.⚠️ The syrup should be golden in color, but if it darkens too quickly, transfer it to a cold saucepan.Add the still-warm syrup to the vodka and stir to combine.
5. Bottling
- Pour into a clean bottle and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
6. Serving
- Serve chilled.
