| 1. Take a large glass jar. | 2. Large enough to hold to bottle of 750ml vodka. | 3. Add one of the bottles of vodka into the jar. | 4. Save the other bottle of vodka for later. | 5. Grate the zest of the 15 lemons into the jar of vodka. | 6. Cover jar tightly and let sit at room temperature for 30-40 days. | 7. The longer it rests- the better it will taste. | 8. No need to shake or stir the contents- all you have to do is be patient and wait. | 9. As the limoncello sits, the vodka takes the flavor and yellow color from the lemon peels. | 10. After 30-40 days, take the sugar (or Splenda) and place into a pan. | 11. Add the water and cook for about 7 minutes- until it becomes a thick sauce or syrup. | 12. Let the sugar mixture cool. | 13. Then open the lid on the jar of lemon and vodka mixture and add the sugar mixture into the jar. | 14. Add the 2nd bottle of vodka. | 15. Close lid on jar tightly and let it sit again for another 30-40 days. | 16. After the 30-40 days has passed, strain the lemon peel (lemon zest) and discard the zest (peel). | 17. Pour the remaining liquid, which is now lemoncello into bottles and place into the freezer until ready to serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
