Hello everybody, I hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, I will show you a way to make a distinctive dish, limoncello. It is one of my favorites. This time, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Limoncello is one of the most popular of recent trending meals on earth. It is appreciated by millions every day. It is simple, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. Limoncello is something which I have loved my whole life. They are fine and they look fantastic.

Love this recipe, I made a few changes to make things easier for me. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Limoncello (Italian pronunciation: [limonˈtʃɛlːo]) is an Italian lemon liqueur mainly produced in Southern Italy, especially in the region around the Gulf of Naples, the Sorrentine Peninsula and the coast of Amalfi, and islands of Procida, Ischia, and Capri.

To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have limoncello using 7 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Limoncello:

1. Make ready Ingredients
2. Make ready 12 medium size lemons
3. Take 1 750-ml bottle of high proof vodka (140+ proof)*
4. Prepare 3 cups of sugar
5. Make ready 3 cups of boiling water
6. Take Hardware
7. Make ready 1 2-quart mason jar with lid and ring

Grate the zest from the lemons using a Microplane grater, taking care to leave the pith behind. This homemade limoncello recipe is better than store-bought. It's perfect as an after-dinner treat on its own, or whipped up in a cocktail. —Jenni Sharp, Milwaukee, Wisconsin The Limoncello turned out so refreshing! I will be making this recipe to prepare for summer after dinner drinks every year.

Steps to make Limoncello:

1. Scrub the lemons under running water to remove any pesticides and particulate matter.
2. Add to a 2 quart mason jar the vodka.
3. With a vegetable peeler, peel wide strips of zest from the 12 lemons. Try to avoid the white pith as much as possible. (As you can see from the photo below, I need to work on my peeler skills. :-(
4. Add the lemon peels to the vodka and seal the jar with the lid and ring. Let it stand for 2 to 4 weeks. 2 weeks will yield a very good lemoncello. However, 4 weeks will yield a superior product with more complex flavors.
5. Whenever you decide your limoncello is ready for consumption, create a simple syrup by adding the sugar to boiling water. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved into the water. Let the syrup cool.
6. Add the syrup to the mason jar and stir to incorporate.
7. Store in refrigerator for 1 day. Strain out the lemon peels and bottle.
8. Keep your limoncello in the freezer to serve ice cold shots. It will not freeze. You can store it for up to 3 months, but I doubt it lasts that long.
9. Cin cin!
10. • Originally I made this with Everclear. It did not taste as good as the limoncello that my parents made. Mine had a harsh taste to it. After checking with my parents, I found out that they used a high proof vodka such as, "Devil's Springs". My advice would be to steer clear of the Everclear. There is a reason that stuff is only 13 bucks a bottle.

Put the zest in a large clean jar and pour over the vodka. Cover with a tightly fitting lid and leave for a week, shaking the jar each day. Limoncello is smooth and sweet with an intense lemon flavor. It can be sipped on its own, mixed into sparkling water, or shaken into cocktails. Limoncello can range from very sweet to super tart and citrusy — as the maker of the limoncello, that's something that you get to decide.
