I found a recipe for Limoncello several days ago and decided that I should make some. No idea why, other than it looked interesting. I've never even tasted it!!! But still it sounded fun.

You start with two bottles of Everclear...

... and pay careful attention to the label. My kids were particularly interested in the "Highly Flammable" part of the label. Its been a LONG time since I've taken a sip of this stuff and my GOD and I have to wonder why I ever would have. It smelled like fingernail polish remover.

Next, you peel 15 lemons and add the peels to the Everclear being careful to remove as much of the white "pith" as possible because it will make it bitter.

Throw it all together in a container that will seal tight and let it sit for one week in a cool, dry place. Be sure to mix it up daily. You'll notice each day that the liquid gets darker and darker and the peels get lighter while also getting thinner and more brittle.

In 7 days I'll post the rest. For now, my migraine is getting the best of me so I'm finishing up dinner then going to bed. Too bad this stuff isn't ready now!
