A delightful homemade lemon liqueur with a vibrant citrus flavor, perfect for sipping or gifting.
Wash the lemons thoroughly under warm water to remove any residues.
Use a vegetable brush to ensure the lemons are clean.
Peel the lemons, avoiding the bitter white pith.
A sharp peeler makes this task easier and more precise.
Place the lemon peels in a large jar and pour in the vodka.
Ensure the jar is airtight to prevent evaporation.
Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 30 days, shaking occasionally.
Mark the date on the jar to keep track of the infusion time.
Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Cooling prevents the alcohol from evaporating when mixed.
Mix the syrup with the infused vodka and lemon peels.
Stir well to ensure the syrup is evenly distributed.
Strain the mixture into bottles, discarding the lemon peels.
Use a fine mesh strainer for a clear liqueur.
Store the bottles in the freezer and serve chilled.
Freezing enhances the flavor and texture of the liqueur.
