Ingredients
Scale
- 5 organic oranges (or organic Lemons)
- 500 gr 2 cups Caster Sugar
- 500 ml 2 cups Water
- 500 ml 2 cups pure grain alcohol (you can use 100% pure vodka, but it won’t taste the same)
Instructions
- Peel the Oranges (make sure you don’t get the white part)
- Place the orange skins in a big jar and pour in the grain (pure) alcohol
- Seal the jar and let it infuse for about 4 days in a dark place
- The fourth day make a simple syrup: pour the sugar in a pot with the water, let it dissolve and boil for about 5 minutes
- Let it cold
- The day after, using a strainer, add the “orange” alcohol to the syrup (so that orange skins don’t go into the arancello)
- Mix it well for a couple of minutes
- Fill up some glass empty bottles
- Arancello is now ready! Just drink it when is very cold, better if you put in freezer
- Serve it in small glasses
- Store in a dry and dark place the other bottles
