How to Make Firebird's Honey Vodka

  1. Scrape the seeds from 1 vanilla bean.
  2. Zest 1 lemon and 1 orange using a microplane or fine grater.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the vanilla bean seeds and zest, 1 cup of water, 1 cup honey, and 1/2 cup sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat.
  4. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and maintain a very slow simmer, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Do not let it boil!
  5. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. The next day, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove solids. Discard the solids.
  7. Add the strained honey syrup to 1.5 liters of high-quality vodka.
  8. Chill thoroughly in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy responsibly!
