Health benefits of Lemon Vodka Recipe | MyRecipes

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants.

Ingredients

2 lemons
1 bottle (750 ml.) vodka

Instructions

Remove zest from lemons with a vegetable peeler and save fruit for another use. Put zest in a 1-qt.* glass jar or decorative bottle. Pour in vodka (through a funnel, if the bottle has a narrow opening).
Close jar tightly and put in a cool, dark place for 1 week.
Chill vodka and serve cold; it will take on the color of the zest and will gradually intensify in flavor and get a little cloudy.
*You can use a smaller bottle, but the infusion will be stronger, so taste it occasionally and remove the zest when the liquor tastes the way you want.
Make ahead: Up to 3 months (1 year, strained), chilled.
Bottle it: 34-oz. Giara hermetic bottle, $8. 99; containerstore. com
