Finally it seems that Spring is in the air today.
I had promised to write the local limoncello recipe. Other sorts can also be made.
In the autumn I collected some licorice roots...or should I say DH did.
Cleaned and put into alcool I have made licorice liquor.
Here were the fresh roots.
Thin peel from about 10 fresh untreated lemons.
500ml alcool.
500g sugar.
700ml water.
Put the lemon peel into a jar with the alcool. Close tightly and leave for 10 days.
Boil water with sugar. Bring to a rolling boil.
Leave to cool.
When completely cold mix with the lemon. Filter and pour into bottles. Leave for about 10 days or more.
The licorice has the same procedure using short lengths of clean root.
This is an old recipe used here for many years. Very strong!
Goodbye for now with our first flowers!!
