Kitrón (Greek Lemon Liquor From Naxos) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 lemons, organic
1 lime, organic
2 1/2 cups ouzo
1 3/4 ounces sugar
1/3 cup water
Preparation
-
Wash lemons and lime under ho water.
Thinly peel them, avoiding the white part of the peel because it would make the liquor bitter.
Place the peel in a glass bottle or jar, fill in the Ouzo, seal the bottle and let stand in a cool lace for 12 days, shaking the bottle every now and then.
On day 13, heat water and sugar, bring to a rolling boil and boil for 3 minutes, then let cool completely.
Slowly pour ouzo from the bottle through a sieve lined with cheese cloth into a clean jar, then mix with sugar syrup and fill into a clean bottle.
The liquor will keep forever in the unlikely case that you don't drink it -- .
