Scraping with a spoon or knife, remove the white part of the inner side of the mandarin orange peel.This prevents the liqueur from tasting bitter, and gives it a better color in the end.

Mix rum and mandarin orange peels in a clean jar. Place in a covered jar in the refrigerator for about five days.
