Vin D'Orange
Photography by Photography by Becky Nunes.
This aperitif comes from the south of France where it is sipped leisurely at many a café. It is delicious on its own or topped up with soda, white wine or champagne for a special aperitif.
INGREDIENTS
2 large oranges
250g castor sugar
1 litre dry white wine
115ml brandy
METHOD
Using a vegetable peeler, pare the zest from the oranges, taking care not to include any white pith. Carefully scrape off any pith that does remain with a knife. Put the zest in a sterilised bottle, add the remaining ingredients and seal the bottle closed.
Place in a warm sunny place for 2 weeks, giving the bottle a shake every day.
Once opened, store in the refrigerator. Makes 1.1 litres
