=============
1 cup Aquardente (cachaca, rum)
2-3 TBSP honey
1 lemon
1 orange
=====
1. Juice the lemon and orange.
2. Cut the lemon and orange in big chunks and put inside a quart size container (Preferably stainless steel, porcelain or glass)
3. Add the honey and muddle the honey and rinds for about 1 minute.
4. Add the alcohol and juice to the container with the rinds and honey. Throughly mix.
5. At this stage it is ready to drink although I prefer to let the entire mixture steep for 15 minutes to an hour, then strain it into a smaller container. Ideally you should drink it within a day or two- Do not store it for more than a week.

correction 9.18.2020 Aguardente doesn't mean water with teeth. It comes from composing the words àgua meaning water and ardente meaning burning. So a literal translation would be burning water, which will make sense if you taste it. The mistake comes from dente meaning tooth, but it's unrelated for the origin of this word.
