Title: Orange Honey Liqueur - Glorious Liqueurs
Categories: Makebooze
Yield: 1 1/2 pints
| 4 | md | Navel oranges |
| 1 | md | Lemon |
| 3 | c | Vodka |
| 1 1/8 | c | Honey |
| 8 | dr | Yellow food coloring, opt. |
| 1 | dr | Red food coloring, opt. |

Rinse and dry the oranges and the lemon. Use the shredding side of a cheese grater to scrape only the orange part off the oranges; be careful not to scrape off the white, bitter part. Scrape the peel off half the lemon the same way. Put the orange and lemon zests in a glass jar; add the vodka. Seal tightly and let steep for 3 days in a cool, shaded place, shaking the jar once a day.
Strain the flavored vodka into a clean bowl; whisk in the honey until it dissolves and the mixture clears. Stir in the optional colorings and glycerine. Pour the liquid into a clean glass bottle, or bottles, seal tightly, and allow to mature for at least a week before using. Store at room temperature.
