Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 2 cups vodka; 5 blood oranges (large); 0.5 cup sugar; 0.5 cup water

Bowl

Saucepan

Before you begin you'll want to scrub the oranges to remove any wax on the skin. Place the oranges in a bowl of boiling water, leave for a couple of minutes and then scrub with a brush to remove any wax before rinsing under colder water. Dry the oranges and carefully remove the skin, removing most of the pith. Add the orange peels to a large jar along with the vodka and cover and place in a cool dark place for 48 hours.

Juice the oranges and place in a medium sized saucepan along with the sugar and water. Stir to dissolve and then place over a high heat and bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, for 3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and set aside to cool.

Strain the vodka to remove the peel and discard the peel. Combine the vodka and syrup and pour into sterilized bottles.
