Ingredients:
Zest of 10 organic lemons
1 (750ml) Bottle of vodka or pure grain alcohol
800 ml water
500 g sugar
Preparation:
Remove the lemon peel with a vegetable peeler and trim off the white from the peels. Place peels in a 2-quart pitcher where they will swim in the vodka. Cover the pitcher for at least four days at room temperature.
Dissolve the sugar in water over medium heat for 5 minutes, let cool. Add the sugar syrup over the peels and vodka. Cover and seal at room temperature overnight.
Strain the limoncello through a strainer and discard peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles and seal the bottles. Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 80 days.
