Wash the lemons in warm water and gently clean them with a brush. Since Limoncello is made from lemon peel, you want to clean it from all possible insecticides.
Pour the grain alcohol into a water jug and add the lemon peel of 10 lemons. Cover it and let the mix macerate for about one month.
After one month, cook the water with the sugar and add it to the mix once the sugar has dissolved. Cover the jug and leave it for another month.
Strain your Limoncello Liqueur into bottles and store them in the freezer (not in the fridge) before serving.
