Ingredients:  
750 ml Unaged Brandy
6 oz Fresh Ginger, divided
1 c Water
½ c Honey
1 T Loose-Leaf Chamomile Tea
1 Whole Vanilla Pod
1 Orange
Directions:
Directions:
Peel and finely dice four (4) oz of fresh ginger. Combine the peeled, chopped ginger, and brandy in a 1-liter glass jar. Cover, shake, and store in a cool, dark place for one (1) week, shaking daily.

After one (1) week, peel, and finely dice the remaining ginger. In a small saucepan, combine this ginger with water, honey, and chamomile tea. Bring just to simmer, stir until the honey dissolves, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

With a vegetable peeler, remove the outer peel (or zest) of the orange, taking care to avoid the white pith. Use a paring knife to split the vanilla pod lengthwise. Add the orange peel and vanilla pod to the ginger-brandy mixture. Without straining, pour the ginger-chamomile honey syrup into the ginger-brandy mixture. Cover, shake, and store in a cool, dark place for one (1) week, shaking every few days.

Fine-strain the liquid through multiple layers of cheesecloth (or use a nut-milk bag or coffee filter) while funneling into a clean glass bottle. Cap (or cork) and store at room temperature for up to six (6) months.

Tip: For the best results, use an unaged grape brandy like a blanche Armagnac or a higher-proof quality grape spirit, or in a pinch, use a high-proof quality vodka.
