How to Make Lemon Cream Liqueur

Combine lemon zest from 4 lemons and 1 cup (240ml) vodka in a jar. Let it soak for 24 hours, shaking occasionally.
In a saucepan, gently heat 2 cups (480ml) whole milk and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar for 25 minutes, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Strain the milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Add the strained vodka and lemon zest mixture, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of whiskey. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into a clean bottle or airtight container. Seal and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to blend.
For an extra-creamy texture, chill in the freezer for at least 2 hours (it won't freeze due to the alcohol). Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving.
Variation: Use the zest of 4 tangerines instead of lemons for a delightful twist!
