I've made orange peel liqueur?!
Answers: immersed the orange peels in 95% alchool for 3 days then strained it and mixed with sugar water. how do i get rid of the bitterness that comes from the peel?
next time, do the following:
scrape the orange part off the peel. do not get any of the white stuff. The white part is what give the bitter flavor.
Use Brandy instead of 95% alcohols, everclear, or vodka. You will get a smoother flavor.
If you want it sweetened, you can make your own sugar syrup by boiling 2 parts sugar to 1 part water until clear. allow to cool before adding to alcohol.
for a nice extra flavor kick, you can add a few pieces of allspice. Be conservative (no more than 3-4) or it will be too strong and taste like mouthwash!
add glucose/sugar/honey
