Clove-infused bianco vermouth
Combine 1 liter of bianco vermouth (prerferably Carpano Bianco), 2 cinnamon sticks, 8 cloves, and 4 orange peels (about half an orange) in a container with as little headroom (air space) as possible. Infuse for 24 hours. Best stored in a basement, at cellar temp, or by a drafty window. Strain back into the bottle.
