Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Prepare the Lemons
Thoroughly wash the lemons under cold water to remove any wax or pesticides. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 2
Zest the Lemons
Using a microplane or a zester, carefully remove the zest from the lemons, avoiding the white pith as much as possible. Place the zest in a large glass jar or container.
Infusion
- 3
Add Vodka
Pour the vodka over the lemon zest in the jar. Seal the jar tightly and give it a gentle shake to mix the ingredients.
- 4
Infuse the Mixture
Let the mixture sit in a cool, dark place for at least 7 days, shaking it gently every couple of days. The longer it sits, the more intense the lemon flavor will be.
Making the Syrup
- 5
Prepare Sugar Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool.
- 6
Combine Syrup with Infused Vodka
After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the lemon zest. Combine the infused vodka with the cooled sugar syrup in a clean jar.
Final Steps
