Many gourmets are subdued by pleasant orange liqueur of Cointreau. The main feature of drink are an interesting combination of ripe oranges and sugar. The original recipe for liqueur can't be found as it is kept the most strict secret. But wine makers found a way out and developed several ways which allow to repeat this known orange drink in house conditions.

Instruction
1. We wash out oranges under flowing water.
2. We pour 400 ml of water in a pan, we add 400 grams of sugar, we put on moderate fire. We stir slowly syrup that didn't burn. Sugar has to be dissolved completely. We remove ready syrup from fire.
3. We remove the top skin (dried peel) from oranges. We cut a dried peel small pieces and we shift it in a sugar syrup, we mix. We add a cinnamon stick (if you not really love cinnamon, then it is possible to make liqueur without it).
4. From pulp of oranges we squeeze out juice which we pour in a pan. We leave to infuse for ten minutes.
5. We pour out vodka in a pan. Well we mix, we pour liquid weight in bank which is hermetically closed.
