How to Make Authentic Limoncello

Name: How to Make Authentic Limoncello
Ingredients: 8 Lemon; 4 cups 95% high proof alcohol, such as Everclear; 2.43 lb Sugar

Ingredients

Wash the lemons and peel off only the yellow zest, avoiding the white pith.
Put the peels in a large glass jar or bottle, pour in the alcohol, seal tightly and store in a dark place for 25 days.
After 25 days, strain out the peels through a fine mesh strainer set over a large bowl.
Pour the water into a large pot on medium heat. When small bubbles appear but it is not boiling, add the sugar.
Stir with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar, then turn off the heat after 2 minutes.
Keep the pot on the stove and stir continuously for 3 to 5 minutes until all the sugar has dissolved.
When the syrup is warm but not yet room temperature, add the lemon-infused alcohol and stir constantly for a couple of minutes.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then use a funnel to pour the limoncello into glass bottles.
Tighten the lids securely and refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
