“Cytrynowka” Polish Lemon Vodka
Posted on | May 18, 2009 |
I was supposed to write about web development but recently I found my old recipe on how to make your own ‘cytrynowka’. All you need is:
- 1L 190 proof alcohol (I use EVERCLEAR 190 PROOF GRAIN ALCOHOL)
- 8-10 lemons (depends on size)
- 1.5 glass of sugar
- little bit of salt
- 1L of water
- Ok so to start you have to wash lemons and cut off the ends (and throw them away). Cut all lemons into the pieces (about 1/4 - 1/2 inch in size).
- Put lemon pieces into the metal bowl or pot, add sugar, salt and one glass of water. Squeeze the lemons very well and leave like that for about 2 hours (don’t forget because it will become bitter if you keep it to long)
- soak and remove lemon pieces, filter everything (use gauze pads to filter out even the smallest pieces of lemon). Add 3 glasses of water
- in about 2-3 days filter everything again
- 5 days later it is ready to drink 
best served chilled in shot glasses
enjoy
