Lorraine'S Luscious And Lovely Limoncello

Method

1. I

   Wash the lemons, using soap, rinse well.

2. II

   Peel the lemons. I used my Microplane Zester and got lovely lemon zest, but you can also use a potato peeler. Make sure not to get any of the bitter white pith.

3. III

   Place the peel into a bowl and cover with the vodka. I used a large Tupperware bowl with a cover.

4. IV

   Let the lemons infuse in the vodka for one week.

5. V

   Line a strainer with paper towels and strain the lemony vodka into a bowl that will hold more than twice its volume.

6. VI

   Mix the sugar with the water in a pot and let it come to a boil.

7. VII

   Boil for 2 minutes, giving it an occasional stir.

8. VIII

   Let cool.

9. IX

   Add the sugar syrup to the lemon vodka and mix.

10. X

    Place in your favorite bottle.

11. XI

    Keep the Limoncello in the freezer (it won't freeze).
