There are many limoncello recipes available on the internet but since I’m engaged in a pseudo-scientific endeavor here, it makes sense to publish my basic recipe. Wanna hear it? Here it go:
Limoncello ingredients:
Two (2) 750ml bottles of pure grain alcohol, so 1.5L of alcohol
cups of white sugar
The zest of 17 lemons (in one test it worked out to ~50 grams of zest, but that’s highly dependent on how you zest)
5 cups of filtered water
Limoncello recipe instructions:
Zest the lemons, put the zest in a glass one-gallon jar with the alcohol and let it sit for 45 days.
Filter the infusion 4 times using #4 coffee filters.
Mix the sugar and water in a pot and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
Let the mixture sit until completely cool and then mix with the alcohol and lemon infusion.
Let that mixture sit for 45 days.
Bottle the liquid and put it in the freezer.
That’s the short, basic version. There’s a lot more to it though and it would be wise of you to check the long-form recipe for all the gory details.
