I am one of the few lucky enough to have lived in Monte di Procida, Italia. It’s this beautiful peninsula located near Napoli (Naples).
I know, I know, poor me.
Anyway, during my three year residence in the heartbreakingly beautiful Monte Di Procida, I was lucky to learn the secrets of digestif or digestivo; more specifically Limoncello and Arancello.
Making these digestif doesn’t take much effort or culinary skills; they will however take a lot of patience and time.
Here are the items you will need for Limoncello:
- 750 mL of Everclear
- 3 mason jars with lids
- 9 lemons (preferably without wax) or 1 Buddha head
- 3 1/3 cups sugar
- 4 ¼ cups water
- A zester or grater (I prefer a grater)
- A sieve
Here are the items you will need for Arancello:
- 750 mL of Everclear
- 3 mason jars with lids
- 10 oranges (preferably without wax)
- 3 1/3 cups sugar
- 4 ¼ cups water
- A zester or grater (I prefer a grater)
- A sieve
