Limoncello Syrup
Description
This syrup begins by heating lemon juice and sugar until boiling and fully dissolved, creating a concentrated citrus base. Lemon zest is then added to infuse aromatic oils, followed by Limoncello liqueur for additional lemon flavor and alcohol notes. Once cooled, the syrup can be stored refrigerated and used to brighten flavors in fresh fruit, yogurt, ice cream, or to add a lemony twist to tea and other drinks.
The syrup is smooth with a balance of tartness and sweetness enhanced by the distinctive taste of Limoncello. Its versatile uses make it a handy component for elevating simple desserts or beverages.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice fresh
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup limoncello liqueur
- lemon from 1 average-size lemon, zest
Instructions
- Combine lemon juice and sugar in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl. Stir well and place in microwave on high power for 2 ½ to 3 minutes, or until mixture is boiling and sugar is dissolved.

- Drizzle over fresh fruit, yogurt, ice cream and desserts or stir a spoonful into a cup of tea.
