Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by selecting 1-2 organic oranges. Using a microplane or peeler, zest the oranges without including the white pith.
- Take a clean glass jar, place the orange peel into the jar and pour in 1 cup of vodka until completely submerged.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 2-3 weeks, shaking gently every few days.
- After the infusion period, strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the liquid extract from the peels.
- Transfer the extract to a clean, airtight container, preferably an amber glass bottle. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark location.
