Limoncello

So this is Mother In Laws recipe for Limoncello. For those of you who don't know Limoncello  is an Italian lemon liqueur. Limoncello is traditionally served chilled as an after-dinner digestivo. It is usually served in small  chilled glasses. This is strong so drink it as a shot!

To produce 1 liter and half of Limoncello, get these ingredients:
- 10 medium sized lemons untreated
- 1 liter of alcohol at 90 °,
- 400 g sugar
- Half a liter of water

First, carefully wash the lemons and cut the rind thinly, being careful not to cut the white part. Place the peel on a cutting board and cut it into strips.

Gather the strips of lemon in a sealed glass jar, pour the liter of alcohol, quit and leave to infuse for at least 15 days.

After 15 days, prepare the syrup of sugar and water. In a saucepan pour sugar and water together, then heat over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Turn off and let cool to room temperature.

Unite the alcohol-infusion to the syrup and mix well. Take a second container and filter through a funnel lined with cheesecloth or filter paper. Repeat a second time, squeezing the lemon peel well.

Finally, again using filter funnel, fill the bottles, close them and put them to rest in a dry pantry.
