Limoncello

Directions

1. 1
   In a very large container with an airtight lid, combine lemon peels and vodka. (I used a 1-gallon glass jar.) Tightly screw on the lid and place the jar in a cool, dark place for 10-12 days. Take off the lid, remove the lemon peels, and stir in the simple syrup. Screw the lid back on and replace to the cool, dark place for an additional 5-7 days. Gently shake the container every day or so if/when the sugar collects at the bottom.
