Lemoncello
12 lemons zested
4 cups grain alcohol
2 1/2 cups sugar
Zest the lemons being careful not to remove any white pith. Place the zest in a clean
glass jar with a tight lid and add the alcohol. Set the alcohol aside for a week. When
the zest turns pale and the alcohol has a deep yellow color it is ready. Strain the mix
through a sieve and place in a clean container, discard the zest.
Combine the sugar and 6 cups of water and simmer until the sugar dissolves, do not
boil. Allow the mixture to cool and pour into the zested alcohol mix. The alcohol
will turn cloudy; adjust the Llemon Cello to taste by adding more alcohol or water.
Pour the mix into two 750-ml liquor bottles, cap and let set for a week to mellow.
Store and serve cold.
