THIS RECIPE STARTS WITH ONE LITER OF PURE GRAIN ALCOHOL. TO BEGIN YOU MUST PEEL

10 TO 12 LEMONS USING THE ZEST ONLY[ YELLOW ] OF THE PEEL. SOAK THESE PEELS IN

THE LITER OF ALCOHOL FOR 14 DAYS. AFTER 14 DAYS USE TWO LITERS OF WATER HEAT

WITH TWO CUPS OF SUGAR AND STIR UNTIL SUGAR IS DISSOLVED AND WATER IS CLEAR.

REMOVE WATER FROM HEAT AND LET COOL. NEXT STRAIN ALCOHOL AND DISCARD PEELS. MIX

ALCOHOL WITH THE COOLED SUGAR WATER MIXTURE AND YOU NOW HAVE LEMONCELLO.

LEMONCELLO SHOULD BE KEPT COLD, AND YOU SHOULD DRINK IN A FROSTED GLASS. ENJOY!!

 

#3

15 thick-skinned lemons (Eureka, Lisbon, or Citron)

2 bottles (750ml) 100-proof vodka

4-1/2 cups sugar

5 cups water

Instructions:

Wash the lemons in hot water before you start. Remove the peel with a vegetable

peeler, removing all white pith on the back of the peel by scraping with a

knife, and put the peels in a 4-quart Mason jar.

 

Add 1 bottle of vodka and stir. Cover the jar, date it, and put it to rest in a

dark cabinet at room temperature.

 

After 40 days, take out the vodka-lemon mixture. In a saucepan set over high

heat, stir the sugar and water together and boil for 5 minutes. Let the sugar

syrup cool completely in the pan, about 10 minutes. Add the sugar syrup to the

vodka-lemon mixture along with the second bottle of vodka. Stir well to combine.

Replace the cover on the jar and note the finish date. Return it to the dark

cabinet and store for 40 more days.

 

At Day 80, remove the limoncello from the cabinet. Strain the mixture and

discard the lemon peel.

 

Pour into clean, unused bottles with caps or decorative corked bottles. Store

the bottles in the pantry, but put one bottle at a time in the freezer until

ready for use.
