Homemade Limoncello Recipe

lemons

liter (4 cups) of pure alcohol 95° which is equivalent

sugar

water

Clean and peel the lemons

Wash the lemons then dry them with kitchen paper. Peel the lemons with a ceramic potato peeler. Take care to remove ONLY the zest (yellow part), leaving the white spongy one on the lemon, as it could give a bitter taste to the liqueur.

Keep in infusion

Place the lemon zest in a large airtight glass jar then pour the alcohol (or the Everclear or the Vodka). Let them infuse for 2 weeks in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Better cover the jar with a cloth to be sure that it remains in the dark. During this time, SHAKE THE JAR EVERY DAY to mix the ingredients well without ever opening the jar.

Make the sugar syrup

After the required infusion time, you need to make the syrup. So put the water and sugar in a saucepan and, over low heat, bring to a boil. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then let it cool down.

Filter

Now filter the liquid with a sieve and remove the lemon zest.

Final step

Once the syrup is cold, add it to the infusion of alcohol and lemon zest and mix well. Now pour the Limoncello into glass bottles with hermetic closure or cork stopper. Store the bottles in a cool, dark place for one week.

Perfectly sweet and zingy, this limoncello recipe is great for entertaining or gifting. 

Limoncello

lemons,

vodka

(330 grams) caster sugar

(375 milliliters) water

Peel lemons carefully, avoiding the white pith under the skin (juice the remaining lemon flesh and freeze in&nbsp;ice cube trays to use in your cooking).<br>


Combine lemon peel and vodka in a glass jar. Seal and place jar in a cool, dark place for 3-4 weeks to develop the flavours. Gently shake the jar every 3 days. (To test limoncello, taste every few days at the 3 week mark. If there is a tangy lemon flavour stronger than the alcohol taste, it’s ready to strain.)

Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool. 

Strain the lemon mixture 2-3 times through a strainer lined with muslin or a clean Chux cloth to remove lemon pulp. Pour in the sugar mixture and stir to combine. Bottle the limoncello and place in the fridge to chill. 

Tasty, Italian after-dinner drink, with a lemony punch.

Italian Limoncello Recipe

alcohol

lemon juice

peel

Use a potato peeler to peel the lemons, making sure to only get the outer peel. The white part will impart a bitter flavor.&nbsp;

mason jar

Add the lemon peels into a large mason jar.

everclear

Pour two cups of Everclear over the lemon peels. Add lemon juice, then seal the jar.

date

I like to write the date either on the lid, on the bottle, or the calendar. This way I know when to proceed with the next steps.

steep

During the next two weeks to 30 days, store the bottle in a dark place. Shake to agitate every few days, or whenever you remember.&nbsp;

strain

When the appropriate time has elapsed, strain the alcohol into a clean bottle, using cheesecloth soup bags.&nbsp;

syrup

Add water and sugar to a small saucepan, and stir. Bring to a boil until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup thickens (about 5 minutes) then cool.

Mix cooled syrup with strained alcohol to combine. Store in the refrigerator or freezer, and drink responsibly!&nbsp;
