Homemade Vin D’Orange

Ingredients

5-6 Oranges(preferably Seville)

1 Lemon

1 Vanilla beansplit

2 Bottle White wine (Sauvignon ideally)

1 Litre Vodka

1.5 cup Sugar

Method

Wash and slice the oranges, then place them in a large sterilised jar with the vanilla pod, cinnamon and coffee beans.

Add the rosé wine, vodka and sugar. Seal and shake gently to dissolve the sugar.

Leave in a cool, dark place to infuse, shaking occasionally.

Strain through muslin into sterilised bottles and serve chilled.

Notes

Slice up the oranges and lemons, add them to a glass jar. Top with the wine and vodka, no need for expensive stuff! Then add in the sliced vanilla bean and sugar. Give it a stir, cover with a lid and leave in a cool dark place.

Leave it for 4-6 weeks, checking on it and giving it a stir once in a while.

When it is ready, funnel the liquid into glass bottles and refrigerate. Now it is ready to drink.

You can have your Vin D’Orange on its own with ice, top a glass of champagne with it or enjoy it in a Gin & Tonic. Cheers.
