Nutrition per serving
Step 1/3
- ⅜ lemons
- peeler
Thoroughly wash lemons with hot water and dry. Peel lemon zest with a vegetable peeler. Take care not to peel away too much of the white pith to avoid an overly bitter limoncello.
Step 2/3
- ⅛ l alcohol 95% ABV or 190 proof
- glass jar (large)
In a thoroughly washed and sanitized jar, add alcohol and the lemon zest. Make sure all peel is submerged in the alcohol. Close lid tight and store in a cool, dark place for approx. 7 days or up to four weeks and leave to infuse.
Step 3/3
- 8 g sugar
- 10 ml water
- pot
Make sugar syrup: In a pot, add water and sugar, bring to a boil, lower heat and then cook until sugar is dissolved, approx. 1–2 min. Let cool and mix with the infused lemon alcohol base. Taste and decide if you need more syrup. Store in the fridge for up to a month.
Cheers!
