Ingredients
- 750 ml Vodka
- 2 whole Lemons
- 50 g Fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash and dry the lemons to remove any wax or residue. Using a peeler or sharp knife, carefully peel the outer layer of the lemon zest, avoiding the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside.
Step 2
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin coins or small chunks to maximize surface area for infusion.
Step 3
In a clean, sterilized glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon zest and ginger slices.
Step 4
Pour the vodka into the jar, ensuring the ingredients are fully submerged. If you prefer a slightly sweet infusion, add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar at this stage.
Step 5
Seal the jar tightly and gently shake it to mix the ingredients. Place the jar in a cool, dark place, such as a cupboard, to infuse.
Step 6
Let the vodka infuse for 5–7 days, shaking the jar gently once a day to help distribute the flavors.
Step 7
After the infusion period is complete, taste the vodka to check flavor intensity. If desired, let it infuse for an additional day or two.
Step 8
Once satisfied with the flavor, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the lemon zest and ginger.
Step 9
Seal the infused vodka and store it in a cool, dark place or refrigerate it. Serve straight, on the rocks, or use as a flavorful base for cocktails!
