Step 1
1. Limoncello is easy to buy, but it's also simple to make at home. You'll need 0.5 liters of medical alcohol, 0.5 kg of sugar, 650 ml of water, and zest from 8–10 lemons, plus 10 days of preparation time. Grated zest is steeped in alcohol for 5 days, then a syrup is prepared and cooled. The alcohol is strained and mixed with the syrup—after 5 more days, the limoncello is ready.
