Home-made Limoncello liquor

Since I started making my own Limoncello, I can’t drink anymore the ones sold in the shops as my own Limoncello is unbeatable.

The recipe is very simple and quick. You will need:

• 1 KG of lemons (we’ll only use the peels so I always try to use organic lemons)
• 1 L of pure alcohol
• 1.25 L of still natural water
• 500g of sugar

Procedure:

• Peel the skin of all lemons
• Transfer the alcohol into a container
• Immerse the lemon peels in alcohol, stir it up a bit, and put the container in a dark place to let the peels steep (I simply move my container into a cupboard)
• After 48 hours have passed, mix 1.25 L of boiling water with 500 grams of white sugar
• Now add the alcohol to the sugared water by using a strainer in order to collect the lemon peels (that can now be thrown away)
• Stir it all up and wait for the Limoncello to cool down
• Transfer the Limoncello into bottles

Just follow these simple steps and you will make an incredible Limoncello. I only serve Limoncello straight from the freezer so I always make sure to have a bottle super chilled ready.
Limoncello is usually drank after dinner.
