Ingredients:

  • 750 ml vodka
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 750 ml water

Directions:

  1. Wash the lemons, using soap, rinse well.
  2. Peel the lemons. I used my Microplane Zester and got lovely lemon zest, but you can also use a potato peeler. Make sure not to get any of the bitter white pith.
  3. Place the peel into a bowl and cover with the vodka. I used a large Tupperware bowl with a cover.
  4. Let the lemons infuse in the vodka for one week.
  5. Line a strainer with paper towels and strain the lemony vodka into a bowl that will hold more than twice its volume.
  6. Mix the sugar with the water in a pot and let it come to a boil.
  7. Boil for 2 minutes, giving it an occasional stir.
  8. Let cool.
  9. Add the sugar syrup to the lemon vodka and mix.
  10. Place in your favorite bottle.
  11. Keep the Limoncello in the freezer (it won't freeze).
