Ingredients
Scale
- 10 organic lemons
- 1 liter of 95% grain alcohol
- 4 cups water
- 3 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Wash the lemons thoroughly and peel the zest using a vegetable peeler, avoiding the white pith.
- Place the lemon zest in a large glass jar and pour the grain alcohol over it.
- Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 10 days to 2 weeks, shaking it gently every day.
- After infusing, prepare the sugar syrup by boiling the water and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it cool.
- Strain the lemon-infused alcohol through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the zest.
- Mix the strained lemon alcohol with the cooled sugar syrup.
- Bottle the limoncello and refrigerate or freeze before serving.
- Serve chilled in small glasses.
Notes
For best flavor, allow the limoncello to mature in the refrigerator for at least one week before serving.
