Yield 2 bottles

Number Of Ingredients 4

10 lemons
1 (750 ml) bottle vodka
3 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use).
  • Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith.
  • Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher.
  • Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
