Limoncello Ladies

On Saturday, 7th August we were invited to Susan's house to make limoncello which is an Italian lemon liqueur. Using the lemons from her tree and a secret recipe, our afternoon was spent grating and stirring and sampling the alcohol. Although we cannot divulge the recipe, in one month's time, the liqueur will be ready for consumption - and we can't wait!


Here we are enjoying our limoncello. Cheers!

The artistic shot of the lemons, the frosted limoncello glasses and on the left is the store bought limoncello, on the right is the home made stuff. I prefered the home made limoncello by a long shot!
Susan showing us the lemons from her lemon tree. Feel how soft they are! (There's a secret there as to why they are so soft but we're not telling).

Mario the Cat watched us with curiosity and wondered why the place smelt like lemons!
