Limoncello Preparation
- Wash lemons, then peel the skins, ensuring only the yellow part is removed.
- Place lemon peels in a large glass jar or bottle and pour in the alcohol. Close the lid and place in a dark place for 25 days to infuse.
- After 25 days, strain the lemon peels using a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl.
- Pour water into a large pot over medium heat and wait for small bubbles to appear (but not boiling), then add the sugar.
- Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes to melt the sugar, then turn off the heat.
- Leave the pot on the stove and stir continuously for 3-5 minutes until all sugar is dissolved.
- When the water is warm, add the lemon infused alcohol and stir for a couple of minutes.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then using a funnel, carefully ladle the limoncello into glass bottles.
- Securely tighten the lids and place in the fridge to cool for a few hours before serving.
