1
Prepare the Orange Peel
In a small bowl, combine the dried orange peel with 1 cup of water. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes to rehydrate.
2
Prepare the Vanilla Bean
Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Set aside the seeds and the pod.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rehydrated orange peel (and the soaking water), cognac, sugar, the scraped vanilla bean seeds, and the vanilla pod. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
4
Dissolve Sugar
Stir the mixture occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

5
Add Fresh Orange Zest
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the fresh orange zest to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
6
Infuse the Mixture
Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

7
Strain the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bottle or jar, discarding the solids.
8
Cool and Store
Let the Grand Marnier cool to room temperature before sealing the bottle. Store in a cool, dark place.
