A bit more decadent, and dare we say subtle, than standard limoncello, this smooth, rich cream version (though made with only 1 % milk) will wow your guests every time. Ingredients:
6 lemons |
2 cups (16 ounces) good-quality vodka |
1/2 gallon 1 % (low-fat) milk |
1 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Remove zest from lemons with a vegetable peeler (about 5 strips per lemon), reserving fruit for another use. Scrape any white pith from zest strips, then soak zest in vodka at room temperature 4 days.
2. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a liquid measuring cup, discarding zest, then transfer vodka to a glass bottle (preferably 2 quart).
3. Simmer milk and sugar in a heavy medium saucepan, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 4 cups, 25 to 30 minutes. (Skim off any foam.) Cool completely, then add to vodka. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
4. Cooks' note: Limoncello keeps, chilled, 1 month. Shake before serving.
