Limoncello step by step
- Scrub the lemons under running water to remove any pesticides and particulate matter..
- Add to a 2 quart mason jar the vodka..
- With a vegetable peeler, peel wide strips of zest from the 12 lemons. Try to avoid the white pith as much as possible. (As you can see from the photo below, I need to work on my peeler skills. :-(.
- Add the lemon peels to the vodka and seal the jar with the lid and ring. Let it stand for 2 to 4 weeks. 2 weeks will yield a very good lemoncello. However, 4 weeks will yield a superior product with more complex flavors..
- Whenever you decide your limoncello is ready for consumption, create a simple syrup by adding the sugar to boiling water. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved into the water. Let the syrup cool..
- Add the syrup to the mason jar and stir to incorporate..
- Store in refrigerator for 1 day. Strain out the lemon peels and bottle..
- Keep your limoncello in the freezer to serve ice cold shots. It will not freeze. You can store it for up to 3 months, but I doubt it lasts that long..
- Cin cin!.
- * Originally I made this with Everclear. It did not taste as good as the limoncello that my parents made. Mine had a harsh taste to it. After checking with my parents, I found out that they used a high proof vodka such as, "Devil's Springs". My advice would be to steer clear of the Everclear. There is a reason that stuff is only 13 bucks a bottle..
