Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup vodka
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sugar
Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the peel from the lemon in long strips, being careful to avoid the white pith.
- Place the lemon peels in a pitcher and pour the vodka over the peels. Cover with plastic wrap and steep at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
- In a saucepan, stir the half and half, vanilla extract, and sugar over medium-low heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Do not boil the mixture. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes and then remove from heat to cool completely.
- Discard the lemon peels from the vodka, and stir in the cooled syrup.
- Transfer the Crema Di Limoncello to a bottle, seal, and refrigerate until cold before serving. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
