Limoncello Part Due (that's "2" in Italian according to Kelly)

Today we finished making our Limoncello! We now have to wait 10 - 40 days before we can drink it, and I am really hoping that in that time it will become a bit milder because it smelled REALLY strong today.










Here's the recipe we used:

(Disclaimer: we have not actually tasted it yet! We'll add an update to the recipe if it doesn't work out too well :) )

Ingredients:
1.5 liters of Everclear (grain alcohol)
16 lemons (zest or peel only)
10 cups filtered water
6 cups sugar

Instructions:
Part 1
Zest or peel the lemons, combine with Everclear, and let sit in airtight container for 10 weeks, shaking/stirring occasionally. (We did 10 weeks because we were lazy, but technically I think you can do as little as 4)

Part 2
Heat up water and dissolve the sugar until the mixture is clear. Let the sugar water cool. Mix with the lemon/everclear mixture. Bottle in air-tight bottles (we got them from the Container Store) and leave in freezer for 10-40 days.
