Step 1

Zest half of the orange using a zester or peeler, making sure there is no white pith. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape into a sealable glass jar or bottle, then cut into smaller segments. Break up the anise with a mortar and pestle or by pressing with a spoon. Add these along with all other ingredients into the jar or bottle, cover and shake.

Step 2

Let steep for two days, then sample to see if any flavor adjustments are needed (remove anything that seems to be taking over the flavor). Shake daily. Continue to steep and adjust for up to five days total, until desired flavor is achieved. I recommend removing the ginger on the second or third day, as it releases flavor more quickly than other items.

Step 3

Once desired flavor is achieved, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the larger items and then strain again through a coffee filter into a bottle.
