Medium organic lemons

Bottle vodka

Water

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for lemonade). Using a paring knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels, as this part is quite bitter and we don't want it in the limoncello.

step 1

Place the lemon peels and vodka into a large bowl or bottle. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap.

step 2

Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes, to make a simple syrup. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup into the vodka mixture.

step 3

Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer and discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.
