How to Make Creamy Limoncello
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from 10 large lemons, avoiding as much white pith as possible.
- Set aside the lemon fruit for another use (e.g., lemonade or lemon curd).
- Carefully scrape away any remaining white pith from the lemon zest. White pith can impart a bitter taste.
- Place the lemon zest in a clean glass jar and pour in 4 cups (950ml) of high-quality vodka. Seal tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for 4 days, shaking gently once a day.
- After 4 days, strain the vodka through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the zest.
- Transfer the infused vodka to a clean glass bottle.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 8 cups (1900ml) whole milk and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar.
- Simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces to approximately 4 cups (950ml). This will take about 25-30 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Allow the sweetened milk to cool completely before proceeding.
- Once the milk is completely cool, gently pour it into the glass bottle with the infused vodka. Stir well to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the liqueur to chill thoroughly. Shake well before serving.
