Ingredients
- 15 x Thick-skinned lemons
- 4 c. Sugar
- 5 c. Water
- 2 bot (750 ml) 100 proof vodka
Directions
- Wash lemons well with a vegetable brush and warm water to remove any residue of pesticides or possibly wax. Pat the lemons dry and remove the zest with a vegetable peeler, scraping any pith away with the tip of a knife. Pour one bottle of vodka into a 4-quart. jar and add in the zest as you remove it from the lemons. Cover jar, and let sit for 40 days, storing it at room temp. in a dark cabinet or possibly cupboard. There is no need to stir: just sit and wait. As the limoncello sits, the vodka slowly takes on the flavor and rich yellow hue of the lemon zest.
- After about 40 days, combine the sugar and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil and let cook till thickened, about 5 min. Let the syrup cold before adding it to the limoncello mix, along with the other bottle of vodka. Cover and return to the cupboard for another 40 days.
- Strain the limoncello into bottles and throw away the lemon zest. Store the bottles in a cupboard, but keep one in the freezer so which the limoncello is icy cool when you are ready to drink it.
