1
Prepare Orange Peels
Wash the oranges thoroughly, then use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of the peel, avoiding the bitter white pith. Collect at least 2 cups of orange peels.
2
Measure Cognac and Sugar
Measure out 2 cups of cognac and 1 cup of sugar, and have them ready for the infusion process.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a large glass jar or container, combine the orange peels, cognac, sugar, and water. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves.
4
Add Flavoring
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and add it to the jar along with the cloves and cinnamon stick.
5
Seal and Infuse
Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place. Allow the mixture to infuse for at least 4 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days.

6
Strain the Mixture
After 4 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solids.
7
Bottle the Liqueur
Pour the strained liquid into a decorative bottle. Seal it tightly and store it in the refrigerator or a cool, dark place.
