Vin Orange; a stiffener to warm your cockles

The recipe
2 oranges – ideally Seville
½ lemon
200g sugar
½ vanilla pod split length wise
¼ cinnamon stick
1 ltr good rose wine
200ml eau de vie
50 ml rum

Ideally it needs 6-8 weeks to macerate.
Get large parfait jars or bottles – sterilise
Wash the skins of the fruit well and roughly slice and place in the jar with all the ingredients except the rum
Place the jar/bottle in a fridge and shake from time to time to help the sugar dissolve
Just before use add the rum and strain through a coffee filter paper into another sterilised bottle and keep refrigerated.
It is quite alcoholic so just do small servings over 3 cubes of ice with a twist of orange peel
