Lemon Extract
  1. Use a sturdy peeler or zester to remove the skin from your lemons. Avoid the pith as much as possible.

  2. Add the peels to your glass jar. Cover with alcohol.

  3. Shake the jar daily. Store in a cool, dark place for 4-5 weeks.

  4. Once the extract has a strong lemon scent, strain out the peels and store the extract in a jar.

  5. For an even stronger extract, restart the process with a new batch of lemon peels and the initial batch of strained lemon extract. Let the mixture rest for 2-3 weeks again, then strain out the lemon rinds and store the extract in a glass bottle.
