1/2 c Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Finely-grated zest of 2
-lemons
1/4 c Lemon-flavored vodka

In a heavy saucepan, bring the water, sugar, and 5 sprigs of the lemon balm
to a boil over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved. Discard the
lemon balm and cool the syrup over a bowl of ice water until cold. Whisk
together the syrup, lemon juice,lemon zest, and vodka in a metal bowl and
place in the freezer, about 2 to 3 hours. Remove any ink on the lemons by
rubbing with almond extract. Cut one quarter from the stem end of each
lemon. Using a grapefruit knife, cut between the pulp and the pith (the
white layer between pulp and skin), and remove the pulp with a grapefruit
spoon or melon baller, scraping the shell clean. Using a teaspoon, mound
each lemon with granite. Keep in the freezer until ready to serve. Remove
from the freezer, garnish each with half a sprig of lemon balm and serve
immediately. Serves 10.
