Instructions

1. 1 Zest lemons, making sure to get the outermost part of the skin and avoid the white pith.
2. 2 Place lemon zest in a glass bowl and cover with alcohol. Cover and let infuse at room temperature until yellowish in color, about 7 days.
3. 3 Bring water and sugar to the boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove syrup from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.
4. 4 Pour alcohol into the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer; discard lemon zest. Stir well.
5. 5 Pour limoncello into thick, freezer-safe glass bottles. Store in the freezer for at least 2 weeks before serving.
