To make limoncello, wash and peel two pounds of organic lemons.

Ensure that you remove as much of the white pith (the spongy white tissue lining the rind of oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits) as possible, to avoid bitterness.

Next, put the lemon peels in a one-gallon glass container with 1 gallon of your choice of grain alcohol. Most people use grappa or vodka.

Close the jar, and let it sit for 10-14 days, giving it a good shake once a day.

When the alcohol turns yellow, strain out the lemon peel.

Make a simple syrup using 1 liter of water and two pounds of sugar by dissolving over low heat.

Add simple syrup to the alcohol and mix. Finally, Chill the limoncello in the fridge or freezer for at least 4 hours before drinking.
