MAKING LEMON EXTRACT

I was blessed enough to be able to purchase a case of lemons.  After juicing them and freezing the juice, I took all of the zest off so that I could make Lemon Extract.  I made sure that I cleaned the lemons first before doing anything, as I didn't want to get any unwanted chemicals in my extract.  I was able to get 2-64 oz jars full of beautiful Lemon Zest.  Then I covered the zest with 80 proof Vodka and allowed it so absorb for a few months. 

After the bottles sat in a cool dark area, it was time to decant them.  So I strained out the lemon zest.  This smelled so incredible potent!  It was heavenly!

After I strained all of the liquid, I put it into bottles and labeled it to share with my family.  This turned out perfectly!
