A New Batch

[20 January, 2026]

The winter doldrums settling in, I needed something that reminds of summer and warmth. So, a new batch of organic limoncello it is!

Steeping the lemon rinds takes about 4 weeks, and another 2-3 weeks after the rinds are removed and simple syrup is added. That gives me plenty of time to clean and sterilize my bottles and get them ready for the liquid gold. But what to do with all those lemons?
