Ingredients
- 1 1.75 liter Everclear
- 1 1.75 liter Vodka
- 20 lemons
- 7 cups sugar
- 7 cups water
- optional: tangerines to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Pour Everclear and Vodka into large bottle (4 liter wine jugs work best). Peel the lemons and insert rinds into the jar (you may also add tangerine rinds at this point...again, to taste). **You may also consider finding a few good recipes for all those leftover lemons at this point, since all you needed was the rinds**
Let the concoction sit for at least 2-4 weeks, shaking occasionally. After 2 weeks you'll get a limoncello as good as anything you can buy in the store for $20 or so.
Mix the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Let boil for at least 10 minutes. Let syrup cool to room temperature.
Strain the mixture through a coffee filter (removing all rinds) into the cooled syrup-water.
Using funnels (and any cool bottles you've collected), bottle your home-made limoncello. ENJOY!!
