Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar granulated
- 1 cup water filtered
- 5 pieces lemons zested
- 1 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, forming a simple syrup.
- Combine the lemon zest with the prepared simple syrup in a large jar or bowl. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the simple syrup mixture and stir well.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lemon zest.
- Refrigerate the non-alcoholic limoncello until chilled before serving.
Notes
This alcohol-free limoncello is a refreshing twist on the classic Italian lemon liqueur. It's perfect for kids, pregnant women, or anyone avoiding alcohol. Enjoy it chilled as a zesty summer drink or use it as a base for lemon mocktails and spritzers.
For the best flavor, let it rest in the fridge for a few hours before serving. If you love lemon, try pairing it with lemon-based desserts like Limoncello Cake or Limoncello Cheesecake.
