Instructions
Thoroughly scrub and dry lemons, then peel rind with a peeler, ensuring as little white pith as possible remains on rinds. Place peels in a large sealable jug or mason jar. Discard or reuse lemon fruit.
Pour Everclear into jar, making sure lemon peels are fully submerged. Secure lid tightly.
Place jar in dark place and let sit for 2–4 weeks. Swish jar every day or so to redistribute peels.
In large saucepan over medium heat, add water and sugar. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves and liquid turns clear.
Let sugar water cool to room temperature.
