options

3 large oranges
3 cups vodka
1 1/3 cups superfine sugar

1. Pare very thinly the bright-colored rind from the oranges (no white). Blot the peel on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Put peel in a 4 cup screw-top jar. Add 2 cups vodka. Close jar.

Store in a cool, dark place for 2 days or until the vodka has absorbed the flavor.

2. Remove peel and add remaining vodka. Close jar and add remaining cup of vodka. Close the jar and store in a cool dark place at least 1 month to age.

So, in step 2, I remove the peel and add remaining vodka. Okay, done. Then I close the jar and add remaining vodka???

Two problems here:
1. There's no more vodka remaining....
2. Even if there was more vodka, how would I add it to the jar I just closed?

Oh, and what do I do with the sugar? Hmmm....

The recipe does not address when to add the sugar. I would love to make this recipe however, need a clear recipe. Thank you:)

Simmer the sugar in some water to make a simple syrup and then add the sugar right after the last cup of vodka. Or alternatively just add the sugar with out making the simple syrup at the same time as the vodka.
