Original recipe from my Nonno Pasquale

Peel the tangerines, taking care to leave as little of the white pith on the skin as possible. Place the tangerine peels (reserve the flesh for another purpose) and the alcohol in a large container, cover with a cloth, and let steep in a dark place for 13 days. After 13 days, strain the peels. Bring the water and sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let cool slightly, then mix the sugar syrup with the alcohol. Bottle the liqueur. It also makes a great small gift.
