Preparation:

Step 1
• Using a vegetable peeler, peel the lemon zest in long strips (set the lemons aside for another use). Place the lemon zest in a 2-liter pitcher. Pour vodka over the zest and cover with plastic wrap. Let the lemon zest infuse in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
Step 2
• In a large saucepan, combine the water and sugar and heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup into the vodka mixture. Cover and let sit at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a sieve. Discard the zest. Pour the limoncello into bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate for at least 4 hours; the liqueur will keep for up to 1 month.
