Ingredients

Rind of 6 large organic lemons
1 cup vodka

Directions

Wash and dry lemons.
Using a vegetable peeler, cut thin slivers of the yellow skin in long ribbons. (Or if you have a zester, use that!) Make sure not to peel off the bitter white pith, just the outside will do.
Place peels in a jar and cover with vodka. Shake well.
Place in a dark cabinet for 4-6 weeks. Shake every few days for the first week, then occasionally after that.
When the extract has reached the intensity you prefer, strain peels and pour extract into a clean jar. Store in a dark cabinet or the fridge.
