Here is a delicious Kitchen Alchemy recipe to get you started
Dr Jimi's Lime-Cello
It's Citrus season in my neck of the woods & a few of you have asked for the recipe to the Lime-Cello I was bragging about on social media. Lime-Cello is actually a wonderful medicine for the liver & gallbladder, assisting with indigestion caused by a life of indulgence. Oh ... and IT'S ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
Ingredients
10-15 organic limes
1/2 litre of 95% Ethanol
500gms of castor sugar
1/2 litre of boiling water
Instructions
1. Use a fine grater to carefully remove the lime zest WITHOUT taking too much of the white pith.
2. Add the lime zest to the ethanol & store away from direct sunlight & electrical equipment
3. After 3-4 weeks, strain the zest out of the ethanol & sit to one side
4. Add 500mls of boiling water to the 1/2 kg of castor sugar & stir until completely dissolved to produce a standard 'simple syrup' (heating gently if needed)
5. Combine the zesty ethanol with the simple syrup & bottle.
6. Sip with kith & kin after eating a hearty meal by the fireside & toast my health.
