I love lemoncello. Was curious to know if homemade was better.
Ingredients
5 unwaxed lemons
1l bottle vodka
750g caster sugar
700ml boiling water
Method
Peel the zest from the lemons, taking care not to include any white pith.
Put the zest in a large clean jar and pour over the vodka.
Cover with a tightly fitting lid and leave for a week, shaking the jar each day.
Put the sugar in a heatproof bowl and pour over the boiling water, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the vodka and peels and leave for a further week, shaking the jar regularly.
Strain into bottles, adding a few strips of lemon zest to each bottle.
Tip! Do not do what I did and put the first batch in a bottle, use a jar. I didn't read ahead and you have to add the zest to the second step. I spent a good hour trying to get it out of the bottle.
