A refreshing and creamy citrus-infused drink, perfect for summer evenings.
Peel the zest from the lemons using a vegetable peeler, avoiding the white pith.
Using a vegetable peeler ensures you get thin strips of zest, which are easier to infuse.
Combine the lemon zest and vodka in a jar and let it infuse at room temperature for 4 days.
Store the jar in a cool, dark place to enhance the infusion process.
Strain the infused vodka through a fine-meshed sieve, discarding the zest.
Press the zest gently to extract all the infused liquid.
In a saucepan, simmer the milk and sugar over medium-low heat until reduced to about 4 cups, stirring occasionally.
Stirring prevents the milk from scorching and ensures even reduction.
Allow the sweetened milk to cool completely.
Cooling prevents curdling when mixing with the vodka.
Mix the cooled cream base with the infused vodka in a glass bottle.
Shake the bottle gently to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling enhances the flavors and makes the drink refreshing.
Shake well before serving and enjoy your Zesty Creamy Citrus Delight.
Serve in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience.
