Instructions

Wash the lemons thoroughly and use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest, avoiding the white pith.
Place the zest in a glass bottle and cover it with the neutral spirit. Seal tightly and let infuse in a cool, dark place for one month, shaking gently every few days.
After a month, strain the zest from the infused non-alcohol using a fine mesh strainer.
In a saucepan, heat water and sugar over medium heat until dissolved; let cool completely.
Combine the cooled syrup with the infused non-alcohol and pour into clean glass bottles. Seal and rest for about ten days before serving.
