Report
A super easy to make limoncello (creamy or plain) which is ready in 24 hours! It's an authentic Italian recipe from my Zia Francesca.

Ingredients
- 7 Meyer lemons medium to large, organic (you can use other lemons, but the limoncello won't be nearly as good)
- 1 liter distilled potable alcohol 49.5% / 99 proof
- 3 lbs sugar
- 68 oz whole milk organic

Instructions
- Peel the lemons very carefully, trying not to get any of the white pith. You just want the yellow part.
- Place all the peel in a bowl and pour the alcohol over them to soak for 24 hours. Make sure they are mostly all covered.
- The next day, boil the milk and sugar for 20 minutes, remove from heat. Cool and then chill.
- Remove the lemon peel from the alcohol.
- Next, pour the alcohol into the chilled, sweetened milk.
- Pour through a cheesecloth in a strainer and bottle. Place in the freezer and keep frozen.
Notes
- Use milk and/or cream for crema di limoncello, and water for a plain version.
- One bottle contains 17 shots, and this recipe makes 3 bottles.
