limoncello recipe

Ingredients

  • 20 lemons large (Costco or Farmboy are best bets)

  • 750 milliliter Distilled water (do not use tap water)
  • 4 cup white sugar

  4. Gently shake every other day – continue process for 40 days.

  6. Once cool add to lemon zest/alcohol mixture.
  7. Return jar to cool dark place and gently shake up the jar every couple of days for another 40 days.

Notes

  • Old lemon zest can be re-used in cakes, muffins, lemon bread, etc.
  • Val obtained this recipe from a tour bus driver in Italy who had his own lemon orchard in his back yard, he had some with him on the bus. Go figure.
