Local lemons best for students at French language school

The best recipe to make “vin de citron” (lemon wine) is always the family’s; and all families have their own, so here is a very good one in my opinion, since it’s mine!

Take 3 litres of dry white wine, add 400gr sugar, ˝ litre fruit brandy, 5 unsprayed lemon peels and spices: vanilla pod, cinnamon and star anise; shake well and forget it for twelve days, before you filter it and put into bottles; to be served on the rocks, on hot summer evenings… but also delicious in winter, said Swedish girl studying French in France in the South.
