Limoncello!!!!!

At last I get to post about this great lemon-centered recipe, which will be my primary entry for the 'Fresh Produce of the Month' event that I recently launched.
Limoncello... who doesn't know what it is? The exquisite lemon-tasting liqueur typically Italian.. It's one of the few liqueurs that I like and it's super expensive here. Still, it doesn't take much to make it. The major cost involved is the alcohol, which is extremely expensive at least in California..
Making limoncello seems like a hard task, because it takes a long time for it to be done. But mostly, it's just waiting time.. so just be patient, and start tomorrow!!!

Limoncello!
Ingredients
8 lemons
1 l (1 quart) alcohol ('everclear')
1 l water or whole milk (to make 'crema di limoncello')
1/2 kg (1 lb) sugar
Procedure
Peel the lemons using a very thin knife: you want to take only the yellow part of the skin. Cover the peels with the alcohol, seal the container, place it somewhere far from the sun, and forget about it for two weeks. After this waiting time, filter the peels out using a cotton cloth, or paper towel.
Here are all my peels, after the 2 weeks of infusion:
Bring to boil the water (or whole milk) and dissolve the sugar in it. Let it cool down. Add this syrup to the lemon/alcohol mixture. For this time, I made a very small amount of 'crema di limoncello', with milk instead of water, just to try. It was good, but I think I like limoncello better.
Let the limoncello or crema rest in the freezer for another week. After this time... enjoy!!!!!

Notes
1. I read some recipes that suggest less infusion time, but this is the original recipe given by my friend Maia, who's from Sicily, where limoncello was invented!
2. You see now those small nice limoncello glasses in the picture above. Make sure you have some of them when you serve the limoncello. We didn't have them the first time we served it. People were using regular glasses for limoncello. Was it for this reason, or just because they really loved it, the fact is that almost ALL the limoncello I made was finished!!!!! It was 1.5 liter or limoncello. I'm not going to say how many people were drinking it, but it wasn't many.. :) So.. your choice: small glasses, or drunk friends!!! :) :)
3. Remember, the deadline to send me your post for the Fresh Produce of the Month is Sunday, June 17th!
