Bitter orange vodka (great-grandmother's recipe)
When oranges are abundant, we give you a very easy way to make delicious vodka. Pour a quart of the best spirit into the gander, add half a quart of clean soft water to it and put it in the backyard, as you use orange, sliced yellow skins (no backing white layer); to this amount of vodka you can not do more than with 10 use the orange peel. Gąsiorek should stand in the shade without daylight 8-10, then pour in the liquid, dripping it straight away through the thin muslin into the bottles. If it turned out, that the liquid has too much bitterness, add another half quart of spirit mixed with a quart of water, cork the bottles and after 4 weeks to use.
Caution: The cuticles should never be soaked in pure spirit, because the oil extracted from them, after adding water to the spirit, will turn white like milk and only careful filtering will restore the clarity of the tincture
