I make this every Christmas as hostess gifts and put it in pretty bottles with ribbon. Everyone who gets this is very appreciative. In Italy this is considered a lemon digestive assistant - whatever it tastes great. Ingredients:
4 cups vodka |
10 lemons, zest of (make sure they are washed well) |
2 1/2 cups sugar |
3 1/2 cups water |
Directions:
1. Place vodka and zest in a sealable jar, like a large mason type jar and allow to sit in a cool place for 4 days.
2. On the fifth day place the sugar and the water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
3. Allow to cook for 5 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool.
4. Add sugar solution to the vodka solution and allow to stand overnight.
5. Strain through a layer of cheesecloth in a conical sieve, pressing the solids firmly.
6. Strain again through a second layer in the same manner.
7. Chill and allow to stand 1 week.
8. Serve very cold.
