Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the honey and water to a boil, skimming any foam from the surface.
Add the cloves, cinnamon sticks, vanilla bean pod, and orange rind, return to a boil, and remove from the heat.
Let sit for 1 or 2 minutes, then bring to a boil again.
Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside for at least 30 minutes to steep. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer or a regular strainer lined with a coffee filter or cheesecloth, and again bring to a boil.
Pour in the vodka. Stir well and serve piping hot.
