Limoncello is an Italian sweet lemon liqueur that is often served chilled as a palate cleanser or after-dinner drink. Sadly, most kinds at the store are made with artificial food dyes and refined sugars. So I made a better option -- this Healthier Homemade Limoncello!
Peel the lemons with a vegetable peeler (just enough to get the yellow skin off). Place the peels in a very large jar (or a big old vodka bottle).
Pour in the vodka and water. Seal tightly and store in the fridge for 20 days (no need to mix, shake, or stir).
Strain the mixture through a coffee filter, into a very large bowl. Discard the lemon peels and the filter.
Whisk in the agave nectar, stevia extract, and lemon flavor. Give it a taste and add more agave if you think it needs it. Pour the Limoncello into jars and refrigerate to store.
