INGREDIENTS

– blood oranges – clementines – lemons – limes – tangerines

Combine one cup of granulated sugar and one cup of water in a saucepan and place over medium heat.

FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP

1

Stir the mixture occasionally, taking care that it doesn't reach a boil. We're really just looking to dissolve the sugar and create a homogenous mixture, which will take anywhere from 2-5 minutes.

2

When the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is uniform, remove from the heat and allow to come to room temperature before using.

3

Wash a large airtight glass container with a tight-fitting lid with hot, soapy water and dry completely.

FOR THE MIXED CITRUS LIQUEUR

Combine all of the sliced citrus, simple syrup, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, and allspice in the large jar.
