Instructions
- Wash and dry the lemons.
- Peel with a vegetable peeler (without the pith, rind only)

- Pour the Vodka in over the peels.
- Cover tightly and well.
- Place in a dark cabinet for 2-4 weeks.
- After 2-4 weeks remove from the cabinet and strain. (I used a coffee filter inside of a metal strainer, you can also use cheesecloth)
- Heat the water and sugar on the stove top to dissolve the sugar crystals. Let cool.
- Pour into the strained lemon vodka, mix well. (taste for sweetness now…if not sweet enough, repeat step 7 again with more sugar/water)

Notes
Add more or less sugar/water for desired sweetness.
