Homemade orange liqueur

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Homemade liqueur making is the art of 'extraction'. Alcohol is an excellent solvent: it extracts the essential oils (terpenes) from the orange peel, giving us the pure orange flavour. The sugar syrup adds body and softens the harshness of the alcohol.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Tight-sealing preserving jar
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Saucepan
  • Sieve

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the oranges in hot water and scrub them.

Tip: It is worth washing even organic oranges due to dust.
2 ✓

Using a vegetable peeler, cut the peel thinly. Be careful not to include the white part.

Tip: If some white remains on it, scrape it off with a knife.
3 ✓

Place the peels in a clean jar, pour the vodka over them, and seal. Place in a dark place for 7-14 days.

Tip: Shake daily. The alcohol will take on a yellowish colour over time as the oils dissolve.
4 ✓

After resting, prepare the syrup: boil the water and sugar together until completely dissolved. Cool completely.

Tip: Hot syrup would evaporate the alcohol, so it must be cooled.
5 ✓

Strain the orange vodka (discard the peels) and mix with the cold syrup.

Tip: Filtering through a coffee filter makes it crystal clear.
6 ✓

Fill into bottles and rest for at least another 1-2 weeks before consuming.

Tip: The flavours need to 'meld' (molecular level homogenisation).

Recipe FAQ

Why did it turn bitter?
The white pith (albedo) of the orange got in. Only the yellow part is needed, as it contains the essential oils; the white part is full of bitter substances.
