Simple Limoncello Recipe
Ingredients:
- 10 organic lemons
- 1 litre of vodka
- 3 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 cups of water
Instructions:
- Prepare the Lemons:
- Wash the lemons thoroughly.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the lemon peels, avoiding the white pith as it can make the limoncello bitter.
- Infuse the Vodka:
- Place the lemon peels in a large glass jar.
- Pour the vodka over the peels, ensuring they are completely submerged.
- Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for at least 7 days (up to 30 days for a stronger lemon flavour). Shake the jar gently every few days.
- Make the Simple Syrup:
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, then remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
- Combine and Strain:
- Once the lemon infusion period is complete, strain the lemon peels from the vodka using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
- Mix the lemon-infused vodka with the simple syrup. Stir well to combine.
- Bottle and Store:
- Choose the right bottle for your product, the serenade has a sleek modern design, available in 50ml/200ml/500ml/700ml making it perfect for all occasions, be that giving to family or friends or stocking in your local store!
- Pour the limoncello into clean bottles.
- Seal the bottles and let them rest for a few more days to let the flavours meld.
- Store the limoncello in the freezer and serve it chilled.
Enjoy your homemade limoncello!
Tips:
- Use organic lemons to avoid pesticides on the peels.
- Adjust the sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet limoncello.
