Ingredients
- * 4 lemons shopping list
- * 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise shopping list
- * 1-1/4 cups vodka, or as much as needed to cover the lemons shopping list
- * 1 cup sugar shopping list

How to make it
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the lemons and return to the boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute. Remove the lemons and allow to dry and cool down slightly.
- Cut each lemon lengthwise into quarters from the blossom end to within 1/2 an inch of the stem end, being careful to keep the lemon intact.
- Place the vanilla bean in the jar. Be sure to use a wide-mouth jar with at least a capacity of 1 quart. Pack the lemons into the jar.
- Combine the sugar and vodka in a pan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Do not boil.
- Pour the syrup over the lemons. If necessary, add more vodka to cover the lemons.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 2 weeks; shaking the jar occasionally.
- The lemons will keep tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.
