DIY Limoncello Recipe

Directions

1. 1.

   Zest the lemons using a Microplane zester. Reserve the lemons for another use.

2. 2.

   Place the zest in a sealable glass container, pour in the spirit, seal and shake. Let mixture steep in a cool, dark place for two weeks.

3. 3.

   Once your steeping period is over, bring the water and sugar to a boil in a small sauce pan. Remove from heat and let this simple syrup cool.

4. 4.

   Pour cooled simple syrup into lemon steeping mixture, and let this new mixture set for 24 hours.

5. 5.

   Filter your limoncello twice: Place a coffee filter inside a funnel, then pour your steeped mixture through it into a bottle or bowl. Repeat.

6. 6.

   Once you've filtered limoncello into your final bottle, refrigerate it overnight. Store in the refrigerator or freezer and enjoy!
