Ingredients
- 10 Organic Lemons must be organic
- 750 ml 100 proof vodka
- 3 cups sugar
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- The first thing you want to do is soak your lemons in fruit and vegetable wash. -Even if they are organic, don't skip this step. - I use the one from Trader Joes.
- Start by peeling the lemons, being sure not to get any of the bitter white pith.
- Place lemon peels in jars and pour Vodka over the lemon peels.
- Attach lids and store in a cool dark place for 2 weeks or up to 30 days.
- Shake the jars every couple of days.
- After the steeping period, pour steeped Vodka into a large bowl or pitcher using a strainer lined with a coffee filter to strain out the lemon peels.
- Discard peels and set bowl aside.
- Combine sugar and water in sauce pan and bring to a low boil, stirring occasionally. As soon as the sugar dissolves, turn the heat off and let come to room temperature.
- While waiting for the simple syrup to cool, rinse the jar you used to steep the Vodka and pour the vodka back in the clean jar.
- Once the, simple syrup cools pour it into the jar with the vodka.
- Store it in a cool dark place for at least 3 weeks and up to 40 days.
- Shake the jar every couple of days.
- After it has finished steeping, use a funnel lined with a coffee filter (optional) to pour the limoncello into the glass storage/gift bottles.
- Attach a gift tag with jute wine and you will have the most delicious gift to share with family and friends.
