Vin D'Orange

 Adapted from Samin Nosrat's recipe, which seems to have disappeared from the internet.  

12 Seville oranges
1 orange
400 g sugar
1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise
3 liters of cheap white or rose wine
1 750 ml bottle of vodka

Rinse all the citrus, cut them it into smallish chunks.

Place all the fruit into a tub big enough for everything. Add the sugar and vanilla bean, and pour in the alcohol. Mix well but gently until the sugar dissolves. Cover and leave in a cool, dark place (or the fridge, if there is room!) for at least 40 days 

 Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into clean sealable bottles.  I use my corker to cork them but you can use whatever you've got. The vin d’orange is now ready to drink, and will only get better and better.
