Ingredients

  • 1 lt vodka
  • 2 strips of unwaxed lemon peel
  • 100g marzipan, diced

Method

  • Step 1

    Leave for at least two weeks, shaking every now and then, before straining through a fine muslin cloth back into the original vodka bottle. As time goes on, the marzipan will break down, turning the vodka milky looking. This is fine; straining the mixture will produce a clear vodka with a faint pale-yellow colour.
