Forty Four - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large orange, blemish free
44 coffee beans, whole
44 sugar cubes
26 ounces vodka, the best you can get

Preparation

Get a large, clean glass jar (with a mouth large enough to fit the orange into) that you can tightly close.
Wash the orange to remove any dirt, dust or wax.
With a sharp tipped paring knife make 44 evenly spaced slits in the orange.
Fully insert a coffee bean into each slit.
Put 44 sugar cubes into the glass jar.
Put the orange into the jar.
Pour all of the Vodka into the jar (yes, I said all of it, no tibbling yet!).
Shake or swirl the jar gently until the sugar is about half dissolved.
Stash the jar in a dark, cool place that your not going into a lot.
Gently (you don't want to bruise the orange) shake or swirl the jar daily for 44 days.
