Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lemons
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- Sparkling water, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the lemons: Remove any wax coating by scrubbing the lemons with warm water and a brush. Dry them thoroughly.
- Zest the lemons: Using a fine-mesh grater or vegetable peeler, carefully zest the lemons, avoiding the white pith underneath, which can be bitter.
- Make the simple syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Infuse the simple syrup: Add the lemon zest to the cooled simple syrup. Stir to combine, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.
- Strain and serve: Strain the infused simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the lemon zest.
- Enjoy chilled: Serve the non-alcoholic limoncello chilled on its own or top with sparkling water for a refreshing spritzer.
Notes
Tips:
- For a stronger lemon flavor, use additional lemon zest.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar.
- Experiment with other citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, or limes for a different twist.
- You can store the non-alcoholic limoncello in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
