The notion is simple and makes me want to play with more versions. Maybe next time I will leave out the cinnamon and use star anise instead.
After you infuse the liquids, you end up with a good amount of citrus leftovers. I didn't want to let all of the yummy infused fruit go to waste, so I consulted the ever-useful internet and came upon this recipe. One Hundred Eggs' recipe for Vin d'Orange sounds great, but since kumquats and meyer lemons are not in season, I just used his marmalade recipe for my infused oranges.
And, after all of that was complete, I took the leftover vanilla bean and added it to some sugar to see if it makes vanilla sugar. I love it when one project flows to the next.
If you try a Vin d'Orange recipe, I would like to hear how you drink it. I am sure there is big potential here.
