How to Make Limoncello Lavender And Vanilla Cream Liqueur

  1. Wash lemons thoroughly with a vegetable brush and hot water to remove any pesticides or wax. Pat completely dry.
  2. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemons, avoiding the bitter white pith. Discard the pith.
  3. Place lemon zest in a large glass jar and pour in the vodka. Seal tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for 7 days, shaking gently once a day.
  4. After 7 days, strain the vodka through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the zest.
  5. In a blender, combine the sugar, vanilla bean (or extract), and lavender buds. Blend until a fine powder is formed.
  6. In a saucepan, combine the milk and the sugar-vanilla-lavender powder mixture. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for approximately 45 minutes, or until reduced to about 6 cups, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  7. Remove from heat and strain the sweetened milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. Let cool completely.
  8. Once the milk mixture is completely cooled, add it to the strained vodka. Stir gently to combine.
  9. Transfer the liqueur to a clean airtight bottle or jar. Refrigerate or freeze for at least 3 days to allow the flavors to meld and develop. (Refrigerated for 1 month; frozen for up to 6 months.)
  10. Shake well before serving very chilled (or frozen) in a frosted liqueur glass.
