Vin d'Orange

Directions

1. 1
   Slice the citrus in thick wheels and place it in a clean container (glass or hard plastic) with a wide mouth and a tight-fitting lid.
2. 2
   Add the sugar, vanilla bean, cinnamon stick, the rose and the vodka.
3. 3
   Stir this well with a spoon (not wooden, as it may harbor bacteria that could inhibit fermentation) and fasten the lid.
4. 4
   Keep the jar in the refrigerator, shaking occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
5. 5
   After about 6 weeks, mix in 1/4 cup dark rum and strain everything through a fine strainer or several layers of cheesecloth.
6. 6
   Store in bottles at a cool room temperature or in the refrigerator; it will last indefinitely.
