How to Make Limoncello {Limoncello Recipe}
Author: My Frugal Adventures
Recipe type: beverage, cocktail
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 8
- Lemons- organic if possible
- 1 bottle good Vodka
- Sugar
- Water
- Patience
- Grate the rind off 10-13 lemons (depending on size).
- Use a potato peeler for this process or a microplane.
- You want to carefully avoid the white part of the rind as that is bitter.
- Now that you have all those lovely peels add them to a pitcher and dump your Vodka in the pitcher. Stir it a bit and cover with Saran Wrap.
- Let this sit in a cool spot for at least 4 days or up to 30.
- Once you are done infusing your Vodka with the lemon peel (mine sat for 7 days)- mix 2 cups of sugar with 3 cups of water in a pan.
- Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves- just a few minutes.
- Once it is dissolved remove from heat and let cool.
- In the meantime you can strain your vodka mixture.
- I used a mesh strainer and that got most of the peels out.
- If you have really fine peels from using a Microplane you might want to strain a second time with paper towels or cheesecloth lining your strainer.
- This is not totally necessary but I like the Limoncello to be nice and clear yellow and not have little floaty peels inside.
- Once you strain the Vodka mixture add the sugar water and stir well.
- Store in freezer.
