Grand Marnier

Crepes Suzette Here I come! Ohh, I love this stuff on ice cream or on fresh berries. It'll be even better if I make it myself.

Ingredients
 6-8 Oranges, unsprayed or organic
1 Liter Brandy
1 cup water
2 cups sugar

Peel oranges into long strips using a vegetable peeler, taking only the rind and none of the white pith. If some of the white pith is on the peels, use a paring knife to trim it away and discard. Place Orange peels into a 2 quart glass jar, pour in brandy and stir gently. Cover jar and store in a cool dry place for 4 weeks, stirring once a week.

After brandy mixture has been stored for 4 weeks, stir together water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, until sugar is completely dissolved. Let sugar mixture cool completely. In a fine mesh sieve strain orange peels out of the brandy mixture and discard peels. Stir in sugar syrup into the brandy. Line the strainer with a coffee filter and pour the Grand Marnier through the filter. Once all of the mixture has filtered through replace with a new filter and strain again. Repeat this process 2-4 more times until Grand Marnier is clear. Transfer the Grand Marnier to bottles and refrigerate before serving.

Store in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 1 year. In addition to prep/active time please allow 4 weeks for mixture to process
