Serves/Makes: 0.5 cup
Ready in: > 5 hrs
- 1 large lemon, washed
- 1/2 cup vodka
Peel the lemon with a vegetable peeler or zester, removing only the zest, not the white pith. Scrape off any pith that comes off with the peel. Combine the lemon peel and vodka in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the vodka to a boil and let boil for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Pour the peel and vodka into a glass jar and seal the lid. Let the lemon extract stand in a cool, dark location for 2 weeks, gently shaking the jar occasionally. When ready to use, strain the extract through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar. Store the jar in a cool, dark location for up to 3 months.
