This sweet, aromatic liqueur is served as an after-dinner drink in dainty chilled glasses all over italy. The flavors mellow over time, so allow the liqueur to rest for a few weeks for the best flavor. Tangerines or blood oranges can be substituted.
Ingredients
- Organic lemons,
2½ lb 1.25 kg - Vodka,
1 bottle
Method
Using a fine-tooth grater, zest the lemons over a large measuring cup with a spout. Add the vodka to the cup, then pour the mixture into a 1-qt (1-l) glass jar. Screw on the lid and place the jar in a cool, dark place for 30 days, shaking it every few days.
Strain the vodka mixture through a fine-mesh tea strainer or use the plunger of a spotlessly clean French press coffee maker. Alter
