Ingredients

  • 2 pounds very fresh lemons
  • 1 quart grain alcohol
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar

Directions

Zest lemons, making sure not to include any pith. Put zest in a jar with alcohol and let stand in the dark for 3 days, making sure to shake the jar at least twice a day.

When the lemons are pale, all the oil has been extracted. Strain the liquid and discard the zest. In a saucepan over low heat, heat water and sugar until sugar dissolves and syrup is clear. Let cool to room temperature and mix with infused alcohol. Strain liquid through a coffee filter

    We made this as Christmas gifts. Our friends have had Limoncello in Italy before and they said it was right up there. This is delicious and pretty easy to do. The amount of sugar was just right- some other recipes we tried were too sweet.
