Authentic Italian Limoncello Recipe: How to Make It at Home

This authentic Italian limoncello recipe shows you how to make the traditional lemon liqueur at home using just lemon peels, high-proof alcohol, sugar and water. The lemon peels slowly infuse the alcohol with their fragrant citrus oils, before it is mixed with a simple sugar syrup.The result is a bright, aromatic homemade limoncello with an intense lemon flavor and a smooth balance of sweetness and freshness. Although the preparation itself is very simple, the infusion needs time to develop its characteristic color and aroma.
