LIMONCHELLO This recipe comes to you from Antoinette. She's a native born Italian and this is her mother's recipe. Her sister had visited here recently and the two of them had made up a "batch" as they had been disappointed in what they could find in the stores. She was kind enough to translate the recipe for me while I was still sober enough to write it down! The recipe calls for making about 1-1/2 Litres of Limonchello. 1 - half litre of Grain Alcohol 5 - fresh whole lemons 1 - litre of water 1 - cup granular sugar (have extra available to sweeten to taste if necessary) Wash the skins of the lemons with fresh water. Using a sharp carrot peeler, take very thin peals of the lemon husk. You really only want the yellow part with as little as possible of the white husk underneath. The white husk would give this beverage a bitter taste. (these peals would be similar to what you'd get in a cocktail if you asked for a "twist of lemon"). Peel all five lemons. Insert all the lemon peels into the bottle of grain alcohol and let stand for TEN DAYS. Using about 1/2 litre of water, dissolve the sugar to make the "syrup." After the peels have been in the grain alcohol for ten days, remove them and simmer them in 1/2 litre of water. Cool. Combine the 1/2 litre of grain alcohol with 1/2 litre of syrup and, after straining out the peels, add the cooled 1/2 litre of water from simmering. Fill two clean 750 ml bottles with the Limonchello and keep it in the freezer. It should always be served from the freezer.
