How to finish "in bellezza" a good meal? Drink a frozen shot of Limoncello!
I love this bitter-sweet liqueur, but after I tasted the "home made" version I cannot drink industrial bottles anymore.
The secret for a good Limoncello is in lemons' peel, choose biological fruits with a powerful aroma an succes is granted!
The recipe is simple:
2 kg lemons
1 kg sugar
1 lt pure alcool 90°
2 lt water
The lemons have to been washed and the peeled into thin strips, carefully eliminating
the thick white pith below which can give the liqueur an unpleasant
bitter aftertaste. The peel than has to be steeped in pure alcohol for a week. Then, add water-sugar syrup to the mixture and
filter before storage.
Wait a couple of week before drinking the liqueur, in order to let the ingredients mix them completely.
If you want to make a self-made present for your friends pick up a fine bottle and decorate it with a cute label that remember to taste it chilled!
