You will need a sealed jar to infuse the alcohol and a lovely bottle to store your limoncello. Limoncello is stored in the freezer, so make sure your container will fit upright.
Peel your lemons with a potato peeler. Make sure you are not including the pith in your peels, it will make your infusion bitter. Place in a jar and pour the alcohol over the peels. Make sure the jar seals tightly. Store in a cool, dark place for 1 week. You may swirl the jar every day, but not completely necessary. When the color is a pleasing dark shade of yellow, it is ready. Infusing for too long can make the infusion bitter. |
