Liqueur Limoncello, or Italian "mezim"

[Merri]

This is an oversight! We must urgently put it. Although ... March 8 is still ahead, and the drink turns out to be very feminine. You can please your friends and relatives. But even on February 23rd it is good, not a single man has yet given up on a limonie. Merri , join our company!
Becherovka bottles do not throw away, they will do

What are you whispering about, friend? Here, at least January, to survive with all its holidays.

[Kamusik]

Kamusikand who said it would be easy?
Today, at last, I decided on a "schedule" for the New Year holidays ... I can only say: "I won't drink so much! ... And I won't eat .."

And here I am with my first Limoncella


Regarding the promise to measure the degree, I did not forget - I tried to measure it, but both alcohol meters float, and the liquid does not even reach 0 - that is, it turns out that there are absolutely no degrees in it, so I don’t know - 2 different alcohol meters cannot be defective
Conclusion one - Limoncello is a very mysterious drink

In the evening I will badyazh the second batch

So I threw away the thermometer, but it was not spoiled: lol: This is all the mysterious Limoncellka

Friends, confess, where did you put your degrees?
Oh, I can't !!!! I strongly suspect that what a Russian limoncello, a Ukrainian, is lemon juice You probably have a different strength scale, or what? Or do you have some kind of anomaly there that the measuring instruments do not work anywhere (you are in different cities, do I understand correctly?).
Okay, figs with them, with degrees, if only it was delicious

Becherovka bottles do not throw away, they will do

I have a liter!

It is always like this with sweet drinks, they do not lend themselves to household alcohol meters, apparently sugar changes the density of the drink. Probably if you look, you can find a way to accurately measure ...

[Merri]

Merri,
And I already have two - from green and red, however, still undiscovered

I had a suspicion that the thermometer was floating on the surface of the liquor like a float because of the syrup, but I didn't think to double-check it on vodka. And God bless him, the main thing is delicious, the degree is felt.

And I already have two - from green and red, however, still undiscovered

Well, willpower !!!

[Merri]

Merri,
I meant that there is still an original drink

Well, that's another matter! The originals should be handled with care and economy. And then my becherovka ends, so only about a trip to the Czech Republic and I think!

Girls, yesterday, as promised (I give a tooth, cross on belly,) put the second run of Limoncello
It's still a cool drink

Irus, you are flint! "The boy said - the boy did" I respect.
A good Temka has formed here, I go, I read, I am happy!

Irus, you are flint! "The boy said - the boy did" I respect.

I try

Girls! This drink reduces pressure better than any tablets! So we do not drink, we are treated with prevention!

Look how! A couple more visits, and he will help us from all diseases in general. Share your feelings!

Virgo, as for alcohol meters. Yesterday, when I was cooking Limoncella, I decided to try them on vodka (because in Limoncella itself, the alcohol meter shows the result of figs to you). So, in vodka, both alcohol meters - a small glass one and a larger one, show a net in a 40C net. I have vodka Khlebny Dar this time.So the alcohol meters are working, but the degree of Limoncella is probably not destined to find out.

So sugar does not allow us to measure the degree, but I put all drinks on alcohol> 90 *, dilute 50/50 so that the finished product is considered ~ 40 *, and I can reduce the degree and then I can use it! if need be

Yesterday I put it))))))))
I have alcohol for a year and a half. Was not interesting to anyone.

And now people are spinning around the jar of liqueur :-) waiting for the tasting. And for now I am silent as a partisan that will have to wait a month

Only of course laziness let me down once again. Chopped lemons with a blender leg right in the jar. Well, I should have cut them finely. Only then it dawned on me. But I hope it won't affect the taste too much.

The "product" has just been filtered. At the same time they tasted it.



Indeed, the alcohol meter shows the "weather". The taste is very similar to longer.

[Krivoruchkina]

Krivoruchkina, did everything right with lemons! I crush them in the grinder, literally somehow The main thing is that they will give all the juice and aroma from the zest to alcohol, and beauty is not important to us, filter it anyway. After 2 weeks, you can try, do not torment the people!
Jefry , I'm glad that you will have limoncello on your table too! Hope it will add a festive mood to everyone

Irochka, Happy New Year to you !!!!! May this year bring only joy to your home !!!
And where is everyone .... ay ... I'm the most persistent: girl_in_dreams: Someone threatened to meet

Irina thank you very much from all my relatives for limoncello. They said that this liqueur is much tastier than a shop wash.
Lena, I’m tutoch. So that we are already two persistent

[Irina, girls!]

Irina, girls! Congratulations to all of you!
Although I did not promise to meet, but already here ...
My Limoncello is good !!! Thanks again.
I made a cocktail with him - it's a fairy tale !!!

And I made a cake in which, according to the Limoncello recipe, the cream is added

Girls, hello in the New Year 2013! I am already with you too! Yesterday we tasted Limonnchella for real, so to speak - the drink is still wonderful, tasty, aromatic. Thanks again to Irochka-Ikra for this wonderful recipe.Now this liqueur should definitely always be in the home bar

Girls! Happy New Year 2013 to everyone! May happiness, peace and love be in your home! And may every New Year on our table there will be dishes and drinks that we compose here on our favorite forum! I'm glad that this time we were united by sunny limoncello!

Happy New Year 2013 to all forum users! We are waiting for new records in bakery, winemaking and other sectors of our "forum" economy. The New Year's gluttony was easy with two glasses of your liqueur, Irina. I never tire of singing your praises. And about gluttony ...: girl_red: Well, our people cannot keep themselves within limits, despite the admonitions of Elena Malysheva. In vain are we trying? We exchange recipes, think over the menu, etc., etc. Anyway, there should be at least some kind of food debauchery on a holiday. Something like this.

Of course, I am very pleased to receive your praise, but still the most important "thank you" is to the Italians for coming up with this wonderful drink.
Yesterday, too, we started with limoncello, so the early New Year's Eve dinner "disappeared" as it was not. By midnight, the strength has already appeared to finish off the New Year's Snake and the remains of Olivier
Our table looked something like this:

[Irisha,]

Irisha, beautyaaaaaaaaa

Oh, and you were all right when you said that you need to make a bucket of Limoncella right away, I now confirm this

Irina, what a beautiful table you have, just a feast for the eyes. I liked the snake on red plates very much. Where you can see the recipe for snake and pie. Also, what kind of teapot is this near the pie? You can take a closer look at it, maybe I need one too

oh, but I did not notice the teapot, I looked at the snake
teapot in the studio

Irusik, the disease of devicegolism does not leave me even in this Temko

It's good that this is my topic. Therefore, it is allowed to flood as much as you like!
So: Snake Pie is Dopletin's Snail Pie. She has it with cheese, and I did it with mushrooms.
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=153533.0
It seems that someone else had a snail, oh, I stumbled upon Dopletin, and now I make almost all pies this way, because the filling does not fall out of them, and they look original.
I simply attached the head to the snake: I cut out two plastics with diamonds, put the filling, pinched it almost everywhere, left one sharp edge unpinned. She smeared it inside with water (to stick better) and put it on one end of the snake. The eyes are allspice peas. The rest is all as usual. A little distance, anointed with an egg, sprinkled with black sesame seeds, and into the stove.

Teapot - Gongfu. Cool!
There are many of these here, they are to the button:
🔗

Welding is poured into an airtight strainer, boiling water is poured. When brewed, press the red button on the lid, and the infusion is drained into the kettle. You can pour, and pour boiling water into the strainer again for the next brewing.

The teapot is really cool. I looked around Ukraine there are no such teapots
Irina, is it like a pie near the teapot or what is it called a cake?

Irusik, the disease of devicegolism does not leave me even in this Temko

yes, the same
yes, Natick, we will go to Russia with you ... for teapots ... after all, we need it, yes

ABOUT! Cake is an interesting thing! Until I realized what sauce to put it under, because, as usual, I mixed there, like a real witch, more of my impressions and ideas about him than the recipe data of the original product. But this is zuccotto
Now my husband asks for lunch, so I'll tell you later what it is.

yes, Natick, we will go to Russia with you ... for teapots ... after all, we need it, yes

The fact that we need teapots is not even discussed, right Irusik?
We have to wait until May-month I will go to Russia there and look at these teapots. I can't tell or write to my relatives because they can't understand my illness-devicegolism

The fact that we need teapots is not even discussed, right Irusik?

not discussed, we need a teapot (min 1 liter)

Irishka, why so big? I have 0.5 liters just right.

Irishka, why so big? I have 0.5 liters just right.

I still have 1 liter
if my husband drinks tea, that's the way he drinks for us

Ukrainian girls, I apologize for interfering because of the bushes, but Gipfel has similar teapots with a 750 ml button, and in Ukraine there are such stores (at least in the summer I saw Gipfel in your shop), I can't vouch for the identity of the assortment, but we have a company of this teapot, maybe you do.

[Irisha - Vladzia]

Oh namesake Irisha - Vladzia thanks for the hint. Gipfel can be found very much, I even know where in Poltava there is an assortment of their goods

Glad if I helped.

Well, now about zuccotto. This is an Italian dessert, according to one of the legends, invented as early as the 16th century by the Florentines, in honor of their landmark - the domes of Santa Maria del Fiori, the brilliant architect Brunneleschi. He is now one of the symbols of Florence.
This is done quite simply. A biscuit is baked, cut lengthwise, into two pancakes. One pancake is cut into segments and lined in a domed bowl. Pour ricotta cream, whipped cream on top, add all sorts of tasty things: nuts, marshmallows, dried fruits, chocolate. It is closed on top with a biscuit lid and put in the refrigerator overnight to soak and freeze. In the morning it turns over, decorated with chocolate icing and put back into the refrigerator for final solidification. It turns out such a cake, somewhat similar to tiramisu, and in shape - to the dome of Bunelleschi. Zuccotto is the dome.
I did not follow the recipe, I mixed something based on Natura cream cheese, cream, condensed milk, marshmallow, and I baked the simplest sponge cake, like a charlotte, in a slow cooker. It was delicious!

Irina thanks for the description of the dessert. While reading, I thought I was drooling. Why don't you put this dessert on a separate topic? Maybe someone will come in handy.

Yes, you can put it on ... Only I mixed the cream without any proportions, now I'm frantically trying to remember how much I put in.It's just that I make tiramisu using approximately the same recipe (no eggs in the cream), and I can already imagine its consistency by eye. And made enough cream to fit in my little bowl. And my cartoon is non-standard, small. Few people have the same here.
Okay, now after the holidays I'll put it up, now I'm hastily going to Seliger

Irina, I bought some lemons, I will make a lemon cheese.
Happy New Year! Happiness and health!

[Merri]

Merri , it's about time! Then, after the holiday week (although, by the way, do you have one, or are we walking so much alone?), You will lose weight with the whole family, in Italian
