Instructions
Peel satsuma oranges using vegetable peeler, reserving flesh for another use. Scrape bitter white pith from orange rind strips, and discard pith.
Place orange rind strips in a large glass pitcher or 3-qt. jar; pour vodka over strips. Cover and let stand at room temperature 7 to 10 days.
Bring sugar and 5 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 minute or until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat; let stand 30 minutes.
Pour syrup into vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature 24 hours.
Pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into another pitcher, discarding orange rind strips.
Pour into sealable bottles or Mason jars. Seal and chill 4 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator up to 1 month.
