->Honey Liqueur <-

2 c vodka or brandy

3/4 lb honey

3 tb orange rind, or 1/2 the

peel of an orange

1 c water, warm but not boiling

1 clove

2 cinnamon sticks,

2 inches ea Peel the orange find in one long spiral if possible, particularly

if you want an attractive presentation. Disolve the honey in the

water and add to the vodka and spices in an attractive bottle with

the orange peel.

Let stand, well corked shaking every few days. I like the flavor well developed, and do not usually strain it at all, but check it

after 2 or 3 weeks, and if you don't want too strong an orange

spice flavor, strain the peel and spices out and rebottle.
