I am going to make Limoncello! It is a delightful treat that I like to sip and dream of travel to Italy someday.
Here is the recipe I plan to use:
1 liter (750 ml) of Everclear alcohol
10 lemons
6 1/3 cups water
6.5 cups sugar
Wash the lemons with hot water to remove any pesticides or wax. Pat the lemons dry. Using a potato peeler, take all the rinds off the lemons so there is no while pith on the peel. Place the rind peelings in a large container with the Everclear alcohol. Cover the container and let sit for 7 days.
On the 8th day, strain the peels from the alcohol, discard peels.
In a large saucepan, make a simple syrup by combining the water and sugar; let it simmer "fast" for 15 minutes. Let simple sugar cool to room temperature. Add to alcohol.
Done! Keep in freezer.
