m-in-cello,

Does the best really come to those who wait? I started some limencello yesterday. Who knew you’ve got to wait two whole weeks before enjoying it? You add lemon rinds to vodka, let it sit, and then add a sugar-water concoction. Sure hope it works, because that would a waste of some perfectly good vodka. In the meantime, though… pretty.

Instant gratification includes using a potato pealer to remove a thin layer of peel from a lemon or lime or orange (I am very fond of orange) and dropping the rind into your glass and adding the vodka with ice, lovely.
skip the sugar, or add a sweet bit of something to taste. An Italian friend made lemoncello and it tasted just like a lemon drop with a kick.

I've been intrigued ever since I saw Giada De Laurentiis make it on the food network. I'll be waiting to hear the verdict.

At least it's sunny and happy looking while you wait.
