Almond Liqueur recipe

Ingredients:
1 To 2
medium lemons <br>
1 c Sugar <br>
3/4 c Water <br>
1 1/4 c Vodka
<br>
1 1/2 tb Almond extract <br>
1/2 ts Vanilla extract <br>
1/2
ts Glycerine; optional

Procedures:
Rinse and dry the lemons. Using the shredding
side of a cheese grater, scrape the zest (yellow part only) off the lemons
until you have 1 tablespoon; be careful not to touch the white, bitter
part.
<br>
In a small heavy saucepan, combine the lemon zest, sugar
and water. Cook over medium high heat, stirring to mix and dissolve the
sugar, until the mixture boils; lower the heat. Simmer, uncovered, until the
mixture forms a syrup, about 5 minutes.
<br>
Remove from the heat.
Strain into a non-aluminum bowl and let cool to room temperature.
<br>

Stir the remaining ingredients into the cooled syrup; funnel into a
clean wine bottle or quart
sized jar. Seal tightly.
<br>
Allow
to mature in a cool, dark place for at least one week. Store at room
temperature.
