AdInstructions
- Infusion
- Pour the White Wine and Vodka into a big glass jar, add the Sugar and stir until most of it has dissolved.
- Cut the Orange and Lemon into quarters and drop them into the jar. Scrape the seeds out of the Vanilla Bean and add them, together with the empty pod.
- Close the jar and leave it untouched in a cool, dark place for one month. The liquid turns slightly cloudy and pale orange.
- Bottling
- Lift out the fruit and the vanilla pod and throw them away.
- Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and strain the liquid through it into clean bottles.
- Seal the bottles firmly with corks and keep them in the refrigerator.
