    What kind of mixer are you using in the almond cloud video?

      It's a Cuisinart. We have both a 6 qt Kitchenaid and this 7 qt Cuisinart. My wife and I both end up choosing to use the Cuisinart for most mixing needs.
      You're the first viewer to notice and comment that it's not the typical Kitchenaid. :-)

    I believe 80 proof is around 40% ABV or close to it. Enjoy :)

    Other Brother could be Ed Sheeran's father. Did you check on that? Also, can zesting the lemons yield the same as peeling? Thanks for the shortcut. I will give it a try.

      Rob Predolich - I used to zest for limoncello, and I love the microplane zester. Really, it’s one of my favorite kitchen tools. But I don’t think it’s t to her best choice for limoncello. Assuming you can manage to peep the peels without snaring the pith, I’d definitely say that’s the way to go. Good luck!

      Hi Anna - the recipe call for 80 proof vodka (which is 40% alcohol). Most commercially available vodkas are 80 proof. No need to buy a premium brand.

      IMHO, a lot of useless work.
      1) Always wash lemons, organic or not.
      2) it is not necessary to blend the zests
      3) scientific studies show that after 72 hours the zests have released all the characteristic substances of limoncello into the alcohol
      4) the syrup can also be obtained cold

      You watched a lemon fall out of a tree and roll all the way to his house and into a bowl and the part you took time to point out as fake is that the tree is not a lemon tree. lol

    Liked the video and especially the short cut. Do you make lemoncello with cream ever? Also I've seen videos where honey is used as a sweetener have you ever used it?

    • @SweetSpotKitchen
      @SweetSpotKitchen  3 роки тому +1

      Glad you enjoyed. I’ve never used cream but I’ve totally enjoyed drinking it - crema. I’m a little concerned about spoilage with cream - heard or read of using powdered milk. Doesn’t sound appetizing.
      Honey, I’ll sure, would alter the flavor. Might be a nice addition. 🙄Let me know how it turns out.

    • @SweetSpotKitchen
      @SweetSpotKitchen  3 роки тому +1

      In my experience, I think giving time to the 2nd waiting period is more important than the first, I.e., after the peels are removed, simple syrup added. More time mellows and melds the flavors. My 2 cents.

      Good question. I think the 90 day and I would skip the paper filter and only use a strainer.

      @@SweetSpotKitchen thanks I made a batch with Ever clear and I have to keep adding water to dilute the extremely strong taste. I do not want to add more simple syrup as it can make it too syrupy and still may not soften the liquor burn. Next time your method lol thanks again.

      1.75 mL of vodka? You definitely used much more than that! Do you mean 175 mL or 1.75L?
