Limoncello with water and vodka

Wash the lemons, wipe dry with a paper towel, then carefully remove the peel from the fruit with a vegetable cleaner or a knife. Put the zest in a 3 liter jar, pour vodka, close the lid tightly. Insist for 15 days in a warm place (18-25 ° C), protected from direct sunlight (can be covered with a thick cloth). Shake the jar intensively once a day. Strain the resulting infusion through a sieve or gauze. Squeeze the zest dry. To prepare the syrup: pour sugar into a saucepan with warmed water, bring to a boil and boil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, removing the white foam. Cool the resulting syrup to room temperature. Mix lemon tincture with sugar syrup. Pour the finished liquor into bottles, seal tightly and insist for 7 days in a dark, cool place to improve the taste. Shelf life in a place protected from sunlight is up to 5 years. The fortress is about 40%.
