Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Orange
- 44 pieces Coffee beans
- 44 pieces Sugar cubes
- 750 ml Dark rum
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
Instructions
Wash the orange thoroughly and pat it dry.
Using a sharp skewer or paring knife, carefully poke 44 small holes evenly spaced across the orange's surface.
Insert one coffee bean into each hole, ensuring it's securely lodged in the orange.
Place the coffee-studded orange into a large, sterile glass jar or lidded container.
Add the 44 sugar cubes evenly around the orange in the jar.
Pour the dark rum into the jar, ensuring the orange is fully submerged. Add the cinnamon stick for additional flavor.
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 44 days. Shake the jar gently every few days to help dissolve the sugar and mix the flavors.
After 44 days, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids.
Transfer the filtered cordial into clean, sterilized bottles and seal tightly.
Serve the cordial neat, over ice, or use it as an ingredient in cocktails. Enjoy responsibly!
