Limoncellolavenderandvanillacreamliqueur Recipes

Steps:

• Grate the zest from the lemons using a Microplane grater, taking care to leave the pith behind. Place the zest in a 3-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over it and stir. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a spot where it won't be disturbed, at room temperature, and let steep 1 week.
• Combine 3 1/2 cups water and the sugar in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Let cool completely, then pour the syrup into the pitcher with the zest and stir. Cover tightly again and let stand for 24 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the solids. Pour into clean bottles with tight-fitting caps. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Zest the lemons, and place zest into a large glass bottle or jar. Pour in vodka. Cover loosely and let infuse for one week at room temperature.
• After one week, combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Do not stir. Boil for 15 minutes. Allow syrup to cool to room temperature.
• Stir vodka mixture into syrup. Strain into glass bottles, and seal each bottle with a cork. Let mixture age for 2 weeks at room temperature.
• Place bottled liqueur into the freezer. When icy cold, serve in chilled vodka glasses or shot glasses.

Steps:

• Wash the lemons with a vegetable brush and hot water to remove any reside of pesticides or wax; pat the lemons dry.
• Remove the zest from the lemons with a vegetable peeler.
• Make sure to scrape off any of the bitter white pith from the zest and discard the pith.
• Soak zest in vodka for 7 days (room temperature).
• Strain vodka through a fine-meshed sieve, discarding the zest. Transfer vodka to a 2 quart glass bottle.
• In a blender add sugar vanilla and lavender and blend till fine and powdery.
• Bring milk and sugar mixture to a boil then reduce to medium low heat, simmering uncovered, until reduced to about 6 cups.
• About 45 minutes.
• Strain and cool sweetened flavored milk completely.
• Then add to strained vodka.
• Place in refrigerator or freezer for 3 days for flavors to meld.
• Shake well before serving.

Steps:

• Zest just the yellow portion of the lemon peels with a rasp grater, avoiding any of the bitter white pith. You should have about 1/4 cup zest. Transfer the zest to a jar or other airtight container. Add the vodka, seal and shake to combine. Set aside in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks.
• Strain the infused vodka through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. You may need to line the sieve with a coffee filter to catch all of the zest. Discard the zest (or dehydrate it and add to the salt for rimming my Spicy Italian Margarita).
• If making your own simple syrup, combine the sugar with 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
• Combine 3/4 cup of the simple syrup (or more, if desired) with the infused vodka. Store in an airtight bottle in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Zest the lemons and remove the white pithe. Place in a large container with the alcohol. Let sit for 1 to 2 weeks.
• In a large pot, add the sugar and cream. Heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Let this mixture cool completely. Add the lemon/alcohol mixture into the pot using a strainer to catch the zest. Pour mixture into 2 bottles. Store in refrigerator for 3-5 days before drinking.
• Continue to store in freezer.
