Small homemade gourmet gifts are always appreciated. Did we already talk about orange wine?  Because it will let macerate for 40 days before eating, the offered value is quite high and I’m pretter sure it will be much appreciated by your  close friends. As we talked earlier about how to make orange candied peels, I think this drink recipe will be just fine and welcomed. Just in time for the holidays, here we go!
