1
Begin by sterilizing a glass container that will hold your infusion. Ensure it is clean to avoid contamination.
2
Measure and add the French Oak Chips to the sterilized glass container.
3
Pour the neutral spirit over the oak chips, ensuring they are fully submerged.

4
Flavoring the Spirit
Add the dried orange peel, vanilla bean (split lengthwise), and the cinnamon stick to the container. These will enhance the flavor profile of your infusion.
5
Sealing the Container
Seal the container tightly with a lid or stopper to prevent any evaporation and contamination.
6
Infusion Time
Store the container in a cool, dark place for 1 to 2 weeks, shaking it gently every few days to mix the ingredients.

7
Straining the Mixture
After 1 to 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solids.
8
Sweetening the Infusion
Add the simple syrup to the strained liquid and stir well to combine. Adjust sweetness to taste.
9
Bottling
Transfer the finished infusion into a clean bottle for storage. Seal tightly and label it with the date.
