Makes 1.5 litres

INGREDIENTS :

6 lemons
750 ml boiled water
300 grams sugar
500 ml Vodka
150 milligrams Squirrel Gully Saffron,
(approx. 1 tablespoon or 25 threads )                                                                           
METHOD : 

Thoroughly wash your lemons to remove any wax or residue. Use a sharp paring knife or potato peeler to remove the rind. Take time to remove all pith from the underside with a knife as this will make your limoncello bitter. In a saucepan, make a simple sugar syrup by boiling the water and sugar over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Sterilize a large glass jar with an airtight lid. Combine the cooled sugar syrup, Vodka, lemon rind and saffron threads in the jar, stir then seal tightly.      Allow the mix to infuse for 30 days before serving.
