Now lets get right to making our drink..
What you will need….
- 5/6 Organic lemons
- 500 ml of Vodka or any pure alcohol of your choice.
- 300 g of Sugar
- 500 ml of Water
Steps..
- Wash and peel the lemons, make sure you avoid the white part because it makes it bitter. Its important you use Organic Lemons cause its the peel we need, non-organic lemons usually has some chemicals rubbed on them to make them look fresh, and we don’t need such chemicals in our drink.
2. Put your lemon peels in a clean jar and pour 500 ml of alcohol, seal tightly and leave in a cool dry place for 5–7 days. (some people leave it longer, it depends on you). Once or twice in a day, shake the mixture so the lemon peel is distributed well through the alcohol and mixes nicely.
