- #116061
This recipe makes a light orange-infused liqueur that is perfect for sipping or using in other recipes. You don't need expensive cognac or brandy but use a decent quality (especially if you are drinking it straight). Glycerine can usually be found with health foods and vitamins in larger grocery stores (make sure you are buying food-grade glycerine). If you can't find glycerine you can use light corn syrup.

ingredients
1/3 cup freshly grated orange zest
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups cognac or French brandy
1/2 teaspoon glycerine
directions
Combine the orange zest and sugar in a mortar or other solid bowl. Mash the zest and sugar together using a pestle or the back of a wooden spoon. Mash until the sugar has been absorbed into the zest. Transfer the mixture to a glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
Add the cognac and glycerine to the container. Seal the lid and lightly shake the container to mix the ingredients. Place the brandy in a cool, dark place for 2-3 months, shaking the container 1-2 times per month.
Strain the brandy through a coffee filter or other fine strainer. Re-bottle the brandy, seal the bottle, and age the brandy for 3 more months before using.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
