Ingredientes

Wash lemons well with a vegetable brush and warm water to remove any residue of pesticides or possibly wax. Pat the lemons dry and remove the zest with a vegetable peeler, scraping any pith away with the tip of a knife. Pour one bottle of vodka into a 4-quart. jar and add in the zest as you remove it from the lemons. Cover jar, and let sit for 40 days, storing it at room temp. in a dark cabinet or possibly cupboard. There is no need to stir: just sit and wait. As the limoncello sits, the vodka slowly takes on the flavor and rich yellow hue of the lemon zest.
After about 40 days, combine the sugar and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil and let cook till thickened, about 5 min. Let the syrup cold before adding it to the limoncello mix, along with the other bottle of vodka. Cover and return to the cupboard for another 40 days.
Strain the limoncello into bottles and throw away the lemon zest. Store the bottles in a cupboard, but keep one in the freezer so which the limoncello is icy cool when you are ready to drink it.
