Cómo preparar Limoncello Lemoncello Limoncella

Using a microplane or vegetable peeler, carefully remove the yellow zest from 10-12 organic lemons (or soak non-organic for 30 minutes before zesting). Avoid the white pith.
Remove any remaining pith from the lemon zest. This is crucial for a less bitter limoncello.
Place the lemon zest and the zest of 1 organic lime in a large, clean jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Pour in 1 (750ml) bottle of high-quality vodka. Secure the lid tightly.
Let the mixture infuse in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks, gently shaking the jar every few days.
After 2 weeks, prepare the sugar syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar and 1 cup (240ml) water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Carefully strain the vodka infusion through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, lined coffee filter, into a large bowl to remove the lemon and lime zest.
Add the second (750ml) bottle of vodka to the strained infusion.
Gradually pour the cooled sugar syrup into the vodka mixture, stirring gently to combine.
Pour the Limoncello into clean, sterile bottles. Seal tightly.
Let the Limoncello rest in a cool, dark place for at least 10 days (or longer, up to several weeks) to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
For optimal taste, store your Limoncello in the freezer.
