Limoncello on alcohol

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   First, take the lemons and wash them thoroughly.

2. Step 2:

   

   We remove the peel from clean and dry lemons, we try not to capture the white part. For the recipe, we only need lemon zest, but you can make jams from the lemons themselves (I did so, it turned out very tasty).

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour the zest into a clean, dry bottle and fill it with 96% alcohol. We close the bottle tightly and leave it to infuse for 1 week in a dark, cool place.

4. Step 4:

   

   After a week we take sugar and water for syrup.

6. Step 5:

   

   In a saucepan, mix water with sugar, bring the mixture to a boil and cook the syrup for 5 minutes. The finished syrup is allowed to cool completely.

7. Step 6:

   

   When the syrup has completely cooled down, we take out our bottle with zest.

8. Step 7:

   

   Filter the tincture through a strainer and gauze. Mix with syrup and send it to infuse again for 1 week in a tightly closed bottle.

9. Step 8:

   

   At the expiration of the period, we take out our tincture, filter it again, pour it back into the bottle and leave it in a dark, cool place for at least 1 month. After a month, we get our fragrant liqueur and you can enjoy it. We serve the liqueur chilled!
