Ingredients
Limoncello Base
Preparation of Limoncello
1. Prepare the Lemons
Wash the lemons thoroughly under cold water to remove any wax or pesticide residues. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
2. Zest the Lemons
Using a vegetable peeler or a zester, remove the zest from the lemons, being careful to avoid the bitter white pith underneath. Aim for about 1 cup of lemon zest.
3. Infuse the Vodka
In a large glass jar, combine the lemon zest with the vodka. Seal the jar tightly and shake gently. Let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 7 days, shaking the jar gently every couple of days to help release the flavors.
4. Prepare the Sugar Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
5. Combine and Strain
After 7 days, strain the lemon-infused vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the zest. Discard the zest. Then, mix the cooled sugar syrup into the lemon-infused vodka, adjusting the sweetness to taste.
