Directions

Wash the lemons well and peel the skin.

Add the lemon peels into a jar with the everclear.

Combine sugar and water in a pot, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer to melt the sugar. Cut the heat and let it cool.
5
After 25 days, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth.
6
Marry the alcohol-soaked skins with the simple syrup and place in the freezer until well-chilled.
Ingredients
8-9 whole organic lemon
750 ml everclear
2 1/2 cup sugar
4 cup cold water
Equipment
jar
pot
strainer
cheesecloth
Tips
You can use vodka instead of everclear.
Don't throw away the used lemon peels; dehydrate them to use in baked goods, dressings, tea, body scrubs, or spice rubs.
Use the freshly squeezed lemon juice combined with simple syrup and water to make Italian lemon ice push pops or lemonade.
Put lemon rinds in the garbage disposal to help it smell nice, but do not overload it.
