leaving as much of the white pith behind as possible.
Excess pith can make the drink unpleasantly bitter.
Maceration Takes Time
Limoncello recipes vary widely in how long the zest is infused.
Some use relatively short steeping periods, while others allow the peel to remain in alcohol for several weeks.
Follow a tested recipe that specifies the type and strength of alcohol, quantities, maceration time, sugar concentration, and final storage method.
An Important Safety Note About Alcohol
