Diy Orange Liqueur Recipe

• 1/4 cup zest from 3 small naval oranges
• 1 tablespoon dried bitter orange peel
• 1 cup brandy
• 1 cup vodka
• 4 whole cloves
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups water

1. Combine zest, dried orange peels, brandy, and vodka in a small sealable container. Seal and shake. Let steep for 19 days at room temperature. On day 20, add the cloves, then seal and shake. Let steep for an additional day.
2. Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat stirring to dissolve. Let this simple syrup cool. Strain the contents of the jar through a fine mesh strainer and then through a coffee filter. Discard the solids. Combine the strained mixture with the simple syrup in a jar or bottle. Shake and let it rest for a minimum of one day before use. Store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to one year (it's best within three months).
