Homemade liqueurs can brighten up any occasion. Their taste is much more pleasant and richer than that of store-bought alcoholic beverages. Especially women will like these liqueurs.
It is necessary
- - 225 g sugar
- - 125 ml of water
- - 4 oranges
- - 350 ml of vodka
- - mint to taste
Instructions
Step 1
Add sugar to water and bring mixture to a boil. Leave the water and sugar to simmer for 20 minutes. The mixture should turn into a liquid syrup.
Step 2
While the sugar mixture is cooking, peel the oranges. You can do this with a grater or knife. To make this syrup, we need both zest and orange juice. The most important thing is that the white peel of the oranges does not get into the zest, as it gives a bitter taste.
Step 3
Squeeze the juice out of the oranges manually or using a juicer. If you are using a juicer, you can run the orange gruel through it twice. This will give you more juice.
Step 4
Add the orange zest to the sugar syrup. Pour freshly squeezed orange juice there. Bring all this fragrant mixture to a boil and turn it off. When the mixture has cooled, add vodka to it. Then add a couple of sprigs of mint.
Step 5
Cover the resulting orange mixture and leave to infuse for about twelve hours. Then strain the mixture with a sieve or cheesecloth.
Step 6
Pour the resulting liquor into bottles. If you like the taste of mint, you can add a couple more leaves directly to the bottle.
