10 organic lemons, washed & dried well
1 bottle of Everclear (grain alcohol)
3 3/4 cups of sugar (use just shy of 3 3/4 cup!)
1 liter water
Peel lemons with sharp knife and only get the yellow zest, carefully cutting away and white bitter pith. Slice lemons into thin strips and place them in a large, glass jar with tight lid.
Pour Everclear over the lemon peels and tighten the lid. Gently swirl the container to distribute the peel & alcohol.
Store in a cool, dark place for 10-14 days, swirling the jar daily.
When infusion is ready, strain out the bulk of the peel using a slotted spoon. Bring sugar & water to a boil in large pot over high heat. When mixture boils, remove from heat & stir in lemon peels. Cool completely.
When cooled, strain & discard lemon peel. Carefully mix the syrup with lemon infused alcohol and filter the entire mixture through a funnel, lined with several layers of cheese cloth into clean bottles.
This is ready to drink when chilled.
(Cook's note: This is good over ice cream, fruit salads, or use to flavor cheesecake!)
