Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 30 servings
You can make this with any citrus.
The key is using the best and
freshest citrus possible.
Fruit that has been in storage
a long time gives a muddy taste
to the drink.
12 Meyer lemons, or a mixture of
lemons and limes, peel only, no pith
3 sprigs lavender, optional but lovely
2 liters light rum or vodka
6 cups sugar
3 cups water
Put the lemon peels, lavender, if using,
and rum or vodka in a container and let
stand for 4 weeks.
Strain the mixture into a decanter.
Mix the sugar and water in a medium
saucepan and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the
sugar has dissolved.
Let cool before adding to the rum mixture.
Serve in small aperitif glasses.
Store in the freezer for up to 1 year.
