Directions

Open the wine. Pour out 1/2 cup to enjoy while you carry on with the recipe. (This is not greed; a bit has to come out or the bottle with overflow when you add the other ingredients.)

Shave the zest from the orange with a vegetable peeler. Remove every trace of bitter white pith from the back with a sharp knife. Poke the orange zest into the bottle of wine. Funnel in the sugar. Drop in the coriander seeds, if using. Recork the bottle. Turn it upside down and right side up a few times until the sugar has dissolved. Refrigerate for 1 week, giving the wine a shake once a day.

Strain the wine into a carafe and serve well-chilled as an aperitif.

    I followed the recipe exactly, using a chardonnay. Wow, we're on our second bottle. Thanks, Laura.

    I was very careful to get off all of the pith and then I used a German Riesling (actually used the same one to make Laura Calder's Coq au Riesling. My husband and I are very happy with the results! I only used the orange peel as I didn't have any whole coriander in the house when I decided to make this.

    This is the same recipe for making Lemoncello. But instead of using orange, you use lemons, and instead of wine, you use vodka, more sugar and no coriander. I let it sit 2 wks too, and shake it everyday. Strain it and enjoy!! If it's anything like the Lemoncello, you definitely have to remove every piece of the white part of the peel, or it WILL be bitter.
