Garden lemon flavoured grappa with leaves(Grappa al limone di giardino con le foglie)
|
- 1 litre of young grappa
- 1/4 of pure alcohol at 95 degrees
- the skin (only the yellow part) of 3 big lemons
- fresh and scented (if possible also some green leaves)
- about 5 cm of cinnamon bar, crumbled
- 300 grams of sugar
|
Take
a small jar with hermetic seal, put the alcohol, the cinnamon and the skins
of the lemons, peeled at the moment. Close the jar and let marinate for
3 weeks, in a dark place and shaking the jar every day. After this time
take a bigger jar and pour half portion of the grappa and the lemon and
cinnamon flavoured alcohol, after having filtered it through a cloth. Pour
the other half part of grappa in a saucepan together with the sugar and
let it warm up, continuously turning until the sugar will be completely
melted. As soon as the sugar is melted, switch off the heat, let it cool
down, then pour in the glass jar together with the other ingredients (the
ones previously mentioned), shake very well, after having closed the hermetic
seal, then put in a dark place for at least one month (but if it will stay
one year it is much better); after this period bottle. |
