Meyer Lemoncello

Meyer Lemoncello

From the Meyer Lemons thread:

  • 12 Meyer lemons, well washed
  • 1 qt of vodka (or Everclear when I can find it)
  • 2 c of sugar
  • 3 c of water

Use a vegetable peeler to remove all the zest from the lemons. If you find you are getting a lot of pith wih your zest (as the Meyers are so thin skinned), simply scrape it off with a paring knife.

Place zest and vodka in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid and let rest for 40 days in a nice dark place.

For the syrup:

Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool completely before adding it to the vodka. Strain the zest thru a fine mesh strainer, and add the syrup to taste, and pour into a glass bottle. I keep mine chilled in the fridge.
