It makes a great gift and thus far has been very well received. Super easy but be mindful that it takes 4 weeks to cure. Happy Holidays, everyone!

Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Peel Lemons (4 1/4 cups) with a peeler, trying to avoid the white pith if possible.

step 2

Place the zest in one or two large glass mason jars and pour Vodka (1 bottle) evenly over top.

step 3

Let the zest sit in the vodka for three or four days, shaking every so often. Strain the vodka (which will feel petrified), into a large bowl and discard the zest.

step 4

Next, heat the Water (6 cups) and Granulated Sugar (2 1/2 cups) until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let cool completely.

step 5

Add sugar-water mixture to strained vodka. Pour into bottles and store in the freezer.

step 6

Let cure for four weeks. Serve as is or topped with heavy cream.
