How to Make Forty Four

Gather a large, clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Wash one orange thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or wax.
Using a sharp knife, carefully score the orange peel in a crosshatch pattern, creating many small slits without cutting into the flesh.
Gently insert one coffee bean into each slit.
Add 44 sugar cubes (approximately 1 cup granulated sugar) to the glass jar.
Place the prepared orange into the jar.
Pour 750ml (25 fl oz) of vodka into the jar.
Gently shake or swirl the jar until about half of the sugar dissolves.
Store the jar in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, for 44 days.
Gently shake or swirl the jar daily for 44 days to encourage infusion and sugar dissolution.
