The limoncello recipe
I am going to share what my mom says is the best drink in the universe the limoncello. Disclaimer If you are a kid you shouldn’t really be reading this as it is a recipe for an alcoholic drink. So anyway here you go. The ingredients are…
- 10 Fresh lemons
- (This ingredient is impossible to obtain in america)1 liter of 95% brandy/wine
- 2 liter of water
- 1 kg of sugar
Step 1: Peel off the zest of the lemon. DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THE PART OF THE LEMON THAT IS WHITE. THAT IS WHAT WILL MAKE THE LEMONCELLO BITTER.
Step 2: Pour in the alcohol with the zest and stir
Step 3: Let the mixture rest for about two weeks
Step 4: Mix the sugar and water and boil it. Let it boil right before it caramelizes but don’t let it caramelize.
Step 5: Pour the two together and let it settle.
Wait for about 4-6 weeks and you have your limoncello ready for drinking.
