ORANGECELLO

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the oranges in long strips (reserve the oranges for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the orange peels; discard the pith. Put the orange peels in a 2-quart pitcher or large glass bowl. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the orange peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes. Pour the syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the orangecello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the orangecello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Use a vegetable peeler and remove the peel from the oranges in long strips. Try not to include too much of the white pith which is bitter. Place the vodka in a container that has a lid and add the orange peels to the vodka. Let the orange peels steep in the vodka for 1 week in the sunlight, or two weeks at room temperature.
• In a saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool. Strain the liquor and mix with the sugar syrup. Transfer to bottles, and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
