Scale
- 10 organic lemons
- 1 liter high-proof grain alcohol or vodka

Instructions
- Wash and scrub the lemons to remove any residues.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the yellow zest, avoiding the white pith.

- Once the syrup is cool, add it to the jar and mix well.
- Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 4 days, preferably up to a month.
