Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any bugs.

Peel the lemons using a Y peeler, avoiding the white pith as much as possible to reduce bitterness.

Cut the peels in a spiral pattern to maximize the amount of peel used.

Place the lemon peels into a glass jar.

Pour Everclear over the lemon peels until the jar is filled to the brim.

Seal the jar tightly to prevent any leaks during the sous-vide process.

Prepare a sous-vide setup and set the temperature to 140°F (60°C).

Place the sealed jar into the sous-vide water bath and let it infuse for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, remove the jar from the water bath and allow it to cool slightly.

Strain the lemon-infused Everclear into a mixing bowl, discarding the peels.

Add sugar to the strained liquid, adjusting the amount to taste, and stir until dissolved.
