Ingredients

• 2 large Lemon
• 2 cups White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly wash and dry the lemons to remove any wax or residue from the skin. Use organic lemons if possible for the best flavor and to avoid chemicals.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, carefully peel the lemons, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath the yellow skin. Set the peel aside.

Step 3

Juice the peeled lemons to yield about 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp.

Step 4

In a clean, sterilized glass jar or bottle, add the lemon peels, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Step 5

Pour the white vinegar over the lemons, making sure the peels are fully submerged. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Seal the jar or bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks to allow the flavors to infuse. Shake the jar gently every couple of days to redistribute the ingredients.

Step 7

After 2 weeks, strain the vinegar through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar to remove the lemon peels and zest.

Step 8

Label and date the container. Store the lemon vinegar in a cool, dark place or refrigerate for up to 6 months.

Step 9

Use as desired in salad dressings, marinades, or to add brightness to dishes.
