## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- 5-7 organic lemons (regular lemons are covered in wax)
|
|
- 300ml 95% ABV grain alcohol
|
|
- 700ml water
|
|
- 500ml sugar
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Pour the alcohol into a 1 liter mason jar
|
|
2. Peel the lemons avoiding the white pith (it will make your limoncello bitter) and submerse them in the alcohol
|
|
3. Cover the jar and let the lemons infuse the alcohol for 20 days
|
|
4. After the infusion is completed, create a simple syrup by boiling the water and dissolving the sugar in the water
|
|
5. Allow the water to cool completely, then strain the alcohol into the sugar water and stir
|
|
6. Bottle or put it back into the mason jar
|
|
7. Feel free to scale the recipe up or down, and adjust the sugar to the sweetness you like, but the ABV should remain somewhere around 28-30%
