Limoncello

By Tbird

Ingredients

• 1 bottle Everclear (750 ml)
• 1 bottle vodka (750 ml)
• 20 organic lemons
• 4 c sugar
• 4 c water

Preparation

Step 1

Wash the lemons in hot water & clean with vegetable wash and scrub vigorously. Rinse. Lemon peels are how you create the drink's flavor & color, so it is important that the lemons are clean. Peel the lemons (save peels) - no white! Put peels in large container with vodka & everclear. Swirl daily for 2 weeks to 4 months. Remove larger peels with slotted spoon. Strain entire mix through coffee filters (pre-wet filters).
After straining mix:
Mix sugar & water. Bring to boil, stir occasionally. Let boil for 7 mins. Let cool to room temp, then combine with lemon-alcohol mix. Bottle.
