Second try at making limoncello; the peels were infused for 8 weeks in a locally distilled 45% gin. Used a coffee filter to filter out any impurities, and I think I trapped too much of the oils... leading to a crystal-clear liqueur, rather than the cloudy-neon-yellow I was going for. Oh well. Next time I'll get actual 180-proof grain alcohol and will avoid paper filters. I'll also use less simple syrup. Boy howdy... lessons have been learned.

Decided to try using those leftover alcohol-soaked peels and making them into something useful... Decided on dried lemon peel powder. I wonder if it will still be 'boozy'? It smells glorious, anyway.

(This finished limoncello is roughly 20%ABV, though we like to mix it with soda because it's so. stinkin. sweet.)
