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.
