Everybody goes crazy for Limoncello!

Original Recipe from the Umbria region

Organic Home Made Limoncello

Ingredients:

one liter of alcohol (95°) 

the skin of 8 organic lemons

600 grams of sugar

one liter of water

Peel the 8 lemons finely leaving out the white part of the skin. Add it to the alcohol. Let it soak for 20 days in a sealed glass container.

After 20 days, take the one liter water, add the sugar and bring them to boiling temperature.

Filter the flavored alcohol.

Let the boiling water cool down. When the water is cold, add the flavored alcohol.

Filter it again and fill your preferred glass bottles with your home made “Limoncello”. 

Enjoy it cold or room temperature according to your taste!

p.s. we recommend the usage of organic lemons because of the lemon skin as a basic soaking element in this recipe. 

*************************************************************************

Regarding soaking, this is how lead in ceramics  became a problem. Acid food like tomatoes or vinegar take out the lead contained in such ceramics. Some individuals are allergic to it and show its effects immediately. But lead is not healthy for anybody because it affects the nervous central system. 

Buy ceramics from suppliers whom you can trust!
