Portuguese Orange Liqueur Recipe

This Portuguese orange liqueur (licor de laranja) brings back many memories of when I was younger living in the Azores Islands.

Ingredients

1 liter of aguardente (moonshine)6 medium sized oranges1 liter of water6 cups of sugar Get Portuguese food & stuff

In a wide-mouth bottle, place the oranges in it (broken into pieces and previously washed).
Cover the oranges with the 1 liter of aguardente.
Leave in a place away from sunlight for 2 months.
At the end of the 2 months, strain the aguardente using a coffee filter, leave the oranges inside the bottle and set the aguardente aside.
Place the liter of water inside the bottle with the oranges and shake very well.
Using a thin mesh filter, strain the water into a pan, add the sugar and bring to a boil.
Once it cools down, mix the water with the aguardente, stir every well and place it in a big enough bottle.
Enjoy.
