Limoncello is a delicious Italian lemon liqueur, typically served as a digestif.
Here’s a simple recipe for making Limoncello at home:
Ingredients:
10-12 organic lemons
1 liter of high-proof vodka (at least 40% alcohol by volume)
2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
2 cups (475ml) water
Instructions:
Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any wax or residue. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully peel off the zest (the outer yellow part) of the lemons, making sure to avoid the white pith, which can make the Limoncello bitter.
Place the lemon peels in a clean glass jar or airtight container.
Pour the vodka over the lemon peels, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the jar or container tightly.
Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 1-2 weeks. The longer you let it infuse, the more lemon flavor it will develop. Some people even let it
infuse for up to a month for a stronger lemon flavor.
After the infusing period is over, it’s time to make the syrup. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Let the syrup cool completely.
Once the syrup has cooled, strain the lemon-infused vodka through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or pitcher.
Gradually add the cooled syrup to the strained lemon-infused vodka, tasting as you go until you reach your desired level of sweetness. Remember, you can always add more syrup if needed, but you can’t take it out once it’s added.
Transfer the Limoncello to clean bottles or jars with tight-fitting lids. Seal the bottles and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for at least a few hours before serving.
Serve your homemade Limoncello ice-cold in chilled shot glasses or small liqueur glasses. Enjoy responsibly!
Note: Homemade Limoncello tends to have a slightly cloudy appearance, which is completely normal and doesn’t affect the taste. Make sure to use high-quality ingredients for the best results.
