Lemon Schnapps Ingredients: 4 lemons Unflavoured vodka - 40% alcohol content (80 proof) Instructions: Scrub 4 lemons thoroughly to remove dirt or any chemical residue and wax. Dry and peel them thinly with a potato peeler or zester. When peeling it's very important that you avoid the white inner rind that will otherwise ruin your schnapps because of its unpleasant bitterness. Put the lemon peels in a clean glass jar with tight-fitting lid. Cover well with clear, unflavoured vodka - 40% alcohol content (80 proof). Let steep for 1-7 days in a dark place at room temperature, 18-20°C (64-68°F). Shake lightly and taste it from time to time. It must not get bitter. Strain and filter your infusion into a clean glass bottle or jar with tight-fitting lid. Store (age) for at least 1 month in a dark place at room temperature before serving. Taste it from time to time. |
