Step 4Remove the lemon zest
OK! It's been a month or so, and the alcohol has taken on a very bright yellow color. This is just what we want--it shows us that the lemon oils have left the zest and entered the liquid. Now it's time to take out the lemon zest. If it's done, the booze should be lemony and the zest very pale and somewhat more brittle. This is about right.

I'm about 3.5 weeks into my zest soak. I used the micro-grater side of my cheese grater to zest the lemons, though, and my zest is much smaller than yours in the pic. I'm not sure if I should soak the zest for a shorter time since there is technically more surface area making contact with the evercleer. It's now a rich yellow color. Any advice is appreciated!

You are probably ok to go on to the next step. It's ok if you want to let it sit longer, but I think you're OK.
