Ingredients

  • 1 lemon
  • 3 oz vodka
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the peel from the lemon in long strips, avoiding the white pith.
  2. Place the lemon peel in a 2-quart pitcher and pour the vodka over the peels. Cover with plastic wrap and steep for 3 to 4 days at room temperature.
  3. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, stir the half and half, vanilla extract, and sugar until the sugar completely dissolves. Do not boil the mixture. Remove from heat and cool completely to room temperature.
  4. Discard the lemon peel from the limoncello base and stir in the cooled syrup.
  5. Transfer the limoncello to a bottle, seal, and refrigerate until cold. Serve chilled.
