Method
Limoncello Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Lemons
Wash the lemons thoroughly under running water to remove any wax or pesticides. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 2
Zest the Lemons
Using a microplane or a zester, carefully zest the lemons, making sure to only take the yellow part of the peel, avoiding the bitter white pith. You should have about 1 cup of lemon zest.

Combine Zest and Vodka
In a large glass jar, combine the lemon zest with the vodka. Seal the jar tightly and let it steep in a cool, dark place for at least 7 days, shaking it gently every couple of days.

Make the Simple Syrup
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of granulated sugar and 3 cups of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Allow to cool.

Combine and Strain
After the vodka has infused for 7 days, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the lemon zest. Mix the strained vodka with the cooled simple syrup. Adjust sweetness to taste.
