Advantages: Having prep'd it yourself! make it sweeter or not - to taste!

Disadvantages: You have to wait two weeks for it!

Theres nothing better than finishing a long lazy lunch with a limoncello digestivo.

It can be bought quite easily now in most supermarkets but I wanted to share a quick recipe.

To make 1 litre you will need 5 large unwaxed lemons, half litre vodka, 250g caster sugar and 300ml boiling water.

Carefully remove the zest from the lemons without any pith as that will make this bitter.
Put the zest into a clean lidded jar and cover with the vodka.
THis should be left for about a week for the lemon flavour to infuse. Agitate twice a day for best results.

The following week put the sugar in a bowl and pour over the boiling water, stirring until dissolved. Add this to your vodka and follow the same process of shaking twice a day for another week.

Now strain this into a bottle and bobs your uncle.

We keep ours in the freezer as its best served extremely chilled after a meal.

Enjoy!

Summary: Limoncello - perfect way to end a meal
