food 024food 025

It’s time to make Limoncello.

Luca’s recipe.

8 organic unsprayed lemons

1 ltre alcohol (outside of Italy you can use Vodka)

350gr white sugar

1 ltre water

Plastic container with a lid

some small bottles with corks

Take the skin off the lemons being sure to remove as much white pith as possible.Put in your plastic container with the alcohol and leave covered for 7 days, preferably in a cool place. Make a syrup of the water and sugar (10′ on mild heat).Cool and mix with the alcoholic solution. Bottle.

If you would like this to be less alcoholic then make the syrup with 1,1/2ltr water.
