Instructions

• Using a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, pare the bright-coloured rind from 3 large oranges as thinly as possible, taking care to avoid any white pith. Blot the peel dry with paper towels to remove excess oil, then place it in a 950 ml screw-top jar. Pour in 480 ml of vodka, seal the jar, and store in a cool, dark place for 2 days, or until the vodka has fully absorbed the citrus flavour.
• Remove and discard the peel, then stir in 265 g of superfine sugar and the remaining 240 ml of vodka until the sugar dissolves. Seal the jar and return it to a cool, dark place to age for at least 1 month before serving.
