Lemon Ginger Vodka

Directions

1. 1
   wash and then peel the lemon, making sure to remove as little of the white pith as possible, and place the peelings in a large mason jar with a tight fitting lid.
2. 2
   wash the ginger root and then slice it into relatively thin discs and place them in the jar with the lemon peel.
3. 3
   pour as much of the vodka over the lemon peel and ginger as your jar will allow and seal it with the lid.
4. 4
   keep the mixture in a cool dark place, like a pantry or cupboard, and give it a quick shake once a day for about a week.
5. 5
   strain the infused vodka through a few layers of cheesecloth and store it back in the mason jar or in the original vodka bottle.
