Homemade Lemon Extract

lemons

Sanitize bottles and caps by dipping them in a large pot of boiling water. Let stand on a dish towel until completely dry.

Wash and dry lemons. Use a ribbon citrus peeler to zest the lemons onto a plate. Be sure to avoid getting any of the white lemon pith in the zest, or the end product will taste soapy. Reserve zested lemons for other use such as making lemonade or lemon curd.

Place 1/4 cup loosely packed lemon peel in each bottle (zest of 3 lemons or .30oz). Use a funnel to pour approximately 1 1/2 cups of vodka into each bottle.
