A delightful spiced vodka drink infused with honey and warm spices, perfect for cozy evenings.
Combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Add the boiling water, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, allspice berries, vanilla bean, nutmeg, and cloves to the saucepan.
Ensure the spices are fresh for the best flavor.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Cover the saucepan to retain the aromatic steam.
Strain the mixture to remove the spices and return the liquid to the saucepan.
Use a fine mesh strainer for a clear liquid.
Add the honey and orange zest to the liquid and heat gently until the honey dissolves.
Stir continuously to ensure the honey blends well.
Remove the saucepan from heat and slowly stir in the vodka.
Add the vodka off the heat to preserve its alcohol content.
Serve the drink warm in mugs or let it cool and serve over ice.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick or orange slice for presentation.
