Preparation
Step 1
Wash the lemons and dry well. Remove the rind (no white) and cut into small pieces. I use a peeler, it is much simpler.
Step 2
Put alcohol and the zest in a glass jar sealed for 15 days minimum, in a dark place. After this time the zest will be bleached and will color the alcohol.
Step 3
Prepare a sugar syrup with water and sugar. About 5 minutes after boiling. Turn off heat and let cool (the syrup must cool completely).
Step 4
Mix alcohol and syrup. Add in a beautiful fresh lemon zest to add more flavor.
Step 5
The next day, filter and bottle.
Step 6
Wait 1 month before drinking. Serve in small chilled glasses with the bottle containing the limoncello.
