Notes
- To make limoncello, wash the lemons under running water 1, rub the peel with a new sponge to remove any impurities, then dry the lemons with a cloth 2. Peel the lemons with a potato peeler, you will only have to remove the yellow peel and not the white part which would be bitter .
- Fine or Caster sugar is slightly finer and dissolves more easily than regular granulated sugar. You can substitute it at a 1 for 1 basis or you can make your own fine sugar just by blending granulated sugar until fine.
