Light Limoncello in Sous Vide Steba SV-1

Kitchen: italian

Ingredients
Vodka	500 ml
Lemons	5 pieces
Sugar	150 grams
Water	300 ml

Cooking method

• 1. To prepare this alcoholic drink, we need 0.5 liters of vodka, sugar, 5 lemons, water
• 
• 2. We turn on our sous view at 57 degrees, while it is "heated up", we are engaged in lemons, we heat the kettle, pour over the lemons with boiling water, so we will wash off the waxes and dirty hands of sellers.
• 
• 3. From lemons, we only need yellow skin, no white rind. You can try with a sharp knife, I didn't succeed, then I took a grater and grated a lemon with a grater. The most dreary and unpleasant part.
• 
• 4. Next, we need to add a yellow skin to the vodka and deny air access, there are 3 ways to do this:
• A) Solder the vodka into a vacuum bag - air still remains a little, it does not affect the taste. Sealed the bag by weight, hanging it on the edge of the table, on a vacuum sealer, moist mode
• 
• B) Second way. Take a bottle of vodka, pour out 100 grams, put our skin inside, add the poured vodka to the very edge without leaving a centimeter of air, screw the lid on.
• The proportions are slightly out of order, but this is nonsense. My problem was that I bought vodka with a dispenser and that's it)) You can't do anything with the bottle. A half liter bottle of vodka fits perfectly diagonally into our sous form. The bottle will sink and the vodka will absorb the scent of lemon. The most environmentally friendly option.
• C) If you are abroad, the original recipe called for the purchase of double ziplock food bags and the method of immersion in water expelled excess air and the bag closed obliquely under water. Unfortunately, we do not sell such packages. Reference Information)
• 5. We put our bag in a sous, we press it from the top, there is a little air in the bag, but suddenly it pops up)
• 
• 6. While our package with vodka will absorb the lemon for 2 hours, cook the syrup. We don't even cook, but over medium heat we dissolve the sugar in water, no need to boil the syrup and let it boil, as soon as there is no sugar at the bottom, turn it off and let it cool.
• 7. After 2 hours, we take out a bag of vodka, cut it, take two strainers, one larger, the second smaller, and filter. Or gauze, for whom there are no strainers, gauze is sold in the pharmacy by the meters.
• 
• Then we add our syrup, stir and pour into a large bottle, remember the volume due to the syrup has become larger. Store in the refrigerator.
•

Note

Real limonello is certainly not cooked that way. They need alcohol, which we have as an excisable product and do not sell to the common people, they insist on lemon peels for a long time and add sugar syrup in the same way. A real limoncello is a digestif, a glass is served after a meal, its degree is higher and it is impossible to drink more than a glass, a very vigorous thing. This drink is lighter and more affordable in performance. Then you can use it in various cocktails, dilute with soda, combine, etc.

I used half of the recipe from this site, changed the proportions of water to my taste, I wanted it sweeter)
🔗
On the Internet I saw recipes based on this - with lime, orange, ginger root, etc. With various spices, cinnamon, star anise, vanilla, etc. The recipe is slightly different in proportions, they add something, but the principle is the same.

AlbinaYou have 2 hours to cook with us for a month
Alcohol can only be obtained through acquaintances who work at distilleries, clandestinely.
You certainly have a vigorous degree and a degree higher. But I could not get alcohol. For me, this recipe is a great way out))

Foam, cool! Thanks for the recipe

[Foam]

Foam, I myself love quick recipes. I gave the link just for information. Here I have a day, maybe this quick recipe will come in handy. But I have no alcohol, but I have moonshine.

[Albina]

Albina, moonshine sometimes has a specific taste of fusel oils, very few people cleanse the moonshine at home it has foreign smells and tastes to the end, sometimes this is impossible at home, lemon may not help, but it's worth trying

Moonshine moonshine strife You probably imagine muddy moonshine. About 20 years ago, we prescribed a moonshine still through medical equipment. We seldom drink ourselves. But it is better to drink your own moonshine than it is not known what kind of vodka and even alcohol. Lemon gives a special flavor. Somehow they insisted, but not with liquor.

I evacuated it like this: I took a rolling jar, evacuated it in a container along with its contents, and then, to be sure, vacuum it into a bag.
One thing, but I didn’t read the recipe carefully, for some reason I drummed into myself that I need to mix vodka with water and then see it.
I'll make the syrup more concentrated ...
