Ingredients:  
8 organic lemons (organic is important since the peels will be used)
1 Quart alcohol 90%
14 oz sugar
1 Quart bottled water
Directions:
Directions:
Peel the lemons, leaving a little white attached to the peel. Reserve the lemons for other uses. Put the peels in a large container together with the alcohol, close it well and leave it in a cool place for at least 4 days, preferably a week. Gently shake a couple of times a day. The peels will loose their brilliant yellow color. On the fifth day or later, prepare a syrup of the sugar and hot water, making sure the water never quite boils. Stir and simmer 5 minutes, then after the sugar is dissolved, allow the syrup to cool. Strain the lemon-scented alcohol through gauze or a strainer, discard the lemon peels and mix the alcohol into the syrup. Shake well before bottling. Let the Limoncello sit for 2 or 3 days. Serve cold as an aperitivo.

You may add 3-4 lemon leaves to the alcohol/peel mixture to deepen the color. If too strong, add to regular lemonade for a hard lemonade.
