How to make lemon vodka
Sterilize a glass jar by running it through the dishwasher or by filling it with boiling water before you add the vodka and lemon peels.
Peel the zest from a lemon by inserting the blade of a paring knife between the zest and the pith.
Try to remove the yellow peel without removing the bitter white pith beneath the peel.
Place the peels inside a 1 gallon (3.8 l) airtight glass jar with a lid, such as a pickle jar. Save the peeled lemons for another use.
