Homemade Lemon Liqueur Recipe

★Instructions

1. Peel the Lemons: Carefully peel the lemons, removing only the yellow part of the skin (avoid the white pith, as it can make the liqueur bitter).
2. Infuse the Alcohol: Place the lemon peels in a large glass jar and pour the alcohol over them. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for about 7–10 days to infuse. Shake the jar occasionally to mix.
3. Make the Syrup: After the infusion period, prepare a sugar syrup by heating the water and sugar together in a saucepan. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, then let it cool.
4. Combine and Filter: Once the syrup is cool, mix it with the infused alcohol. Strain the lemon peels from the mixture and pour the liqueur into bottles.
5. Store: Seal the bottles and let the liqueur rest for an additional week or more for the flavors to blend. Serve chilled.
