Limoncello
Recipe By: Giada De Laurentiis
10 lemons
1 bottle vodka (750-ml)
3 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long
strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp
knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the
pith. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over
the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the
vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until
the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar
syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature
overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the
peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and
refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.
