Home-Made Orange Liqueur

Music pairing: Joseph Haydn, Symphony No. 101 in D major “The clock” (Hob I:101).

The Symphony No. 101 is widely known as “The Clock” because of the “ticking” rhythm throughout the second movement. It was written by Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), a wonderful, inexhaustible and sublime composer of the classical era, who is familiarly known as the “father of the symphony” (he composed more than 100!).

Home-Made Orange Liqueur This spring, I decided to make a Cointreau-type of liqueur with organic oranges. Τhis was a first one for me.

The whole process needs patience, calmness, and love. “You have to give time to time”, a wise man once said.
