Limoncello - lemon flavour vodka

Day 0 for the l

When ever I have travelling in Italy, I always bring limoncello home with me, as I have an addiction to this sweet lemon flavoured liqueur. So when I found this recipe on limoncello by Louisa Lorang, I decided to try to make this addiction of mine on my own.

As you are using the peel of lemon, I would strongly recommend you to use organic lemon, as these lemons are not treated with un-wanted things. So therefore I made an extra order together with my weekly vegetable box from Årstiderne. And I got 10 lemons, so therefore I have started a "new production" of limoncello.

I am really looking to enjoy this lemon flavoured vodka ice cold dreaming about excellent Italian food and Italy.

Limoncello a la Louisa Lorang: - 4 dl vodka drink

• 3 organic lemon - only the peel is used
• 3 dl vodka with neutral taste
• 1½ dl water
• 100 g sugar
