How to Make Orange Vanilla Liqueur
- Using a vegetable peeler, carefully pare the peel from 3 large oranges in a spiral, creating 1-inch-wide strips. Aim to remove mostly the zest and leave the white pith behind.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the orange peels, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of light corn syrup, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes. The mixture will thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of pure orange extract.
- Once the mixture is at room temperature, add 1 cup of high-quality vodka.
- Carefully pour the mixture into a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
- Let the liqueur sit in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, allowing the flavors to fully infuse. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it will become! (up to 4 weeks for maximum flavor).
- Strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth to remove the orange peels before serving. Enjoy!
