Here comes a recipe to prepare limoncello, a Southern Italian dessert liquor, as my dad Paolo told me.
Ingredients:
- 1 litre of pure alcohol
- lemon rind (4-6 lemons depending on their size)
- 1,5 litre of water
- 1 kg of sugar
Preparation
Put the alcohol in a glass or plastic jar, and add the lemon rind (just the yellow part, without the white internal part).
Close the jar and wait for 10-12 days, then filter the concentrate (e.g. with a tea strainer).
Heat up the water and mix the sugar in it in order to have it completely melted.
Cool down the mixture and add the concentrate to it stirring all the time. Bottle it. You’re done: cheers!
Note: The quantity of water can be more or less depending on the alcoholic strength you want to get.
Limoncello tastes best if really cold.

Alcohol is ethanol indeed.
