Ingredients

• 12 lemons
• 4 c vodka (medium quality)
• 4 c filtered water
• 3 c sugar

Directions

• Using a vegetable peeler, gently peel only the yellow part of the lemon peel from the fruit. Scrape off any excess white part with a sharp knife. This is a great TV watching activity and husband involvement is required appreciated.
• Put peels in a large pitcher and pour vodka over them. Cover top. Allow to sit at room temperature for 4 days, giving them a small swirl once a day.
• Make a simple sugar syrup by combining the sugar and water in a small sauce pan over a medium flame. Stir and gently warm until sugar is dissolved, about 7 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Pour over lemon peels and vodka. Allow to rest at room temperature for 1 day.
• Strain the lemon peels and pour into sterilized containers. Chill. Best consumed within 2 months.
