Your New Favorite do it yourself Drink!

Hey Guys and Gals, are you Looking for an awesome Citron Infused Vodka Recipe? You now have no reason to look any further! You have just found what you have been looking for, this is a recipe for the most awesome tasting Citron Infused Vodka Recipe in the world.

Citron Infused Vodka Recipe

Ingredients

Step 1

  1. The peel of 2 citrons
  2. 1 cup alcohol (in Italy we use a 190-proof/95 per cent alcohol) or Vodka*

Step 2

  1. 1 cup of water
  2. 1 2/3 cup of sugar

Instructions

Step 1

Wash the citron gently but very well, going over it carefully perhaps with a brush where there may be dirt trapped in its pores.

Peel the citron with a vegetable peeler, making sure you are only removing the bright yellow peel and no white pith. Place the peels in a large jar.Pour In the alcohol.

Let the mixture infuse in a cool, dark place for a week the alcohol will become bright yellow and fragrant while the peels turn white.

Strain your liqueur through several layers of cheesecloth. Discard the cheesecloths.

(It helps to moisten the cheesecloth first so the liquid permeates more smoothly)

Once you get to the point where you have strained everything out, you can gently wring the cheesecloth to extract all of the liquid and juice.

If you still need to strain your liqueur further due to lack of clarity, you can strain it 1 more time through a coffee strainer.

Step 2

Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

Take off the heat and let cool completely before adding to the citron-infused alcohol. Keeps well in a bottle for months. Serve ice cold.

Add the sugar and shake until dissolved in the liqueur. Now let age for additional 3-4 months for the best taste.

Utensils:
– A large glass jar (I used a 3 liter jar)
– large plastic bowl
– paring knife
– vegetable peeler  (or knife)
– measuring cups (liquid and dry)
– metal strainer
– cheesecloth
– saucepan
– small funnel
– glass bottles, or storage containers, for the final product, you can either use the glass Jar you used before, or just buy a second one. 

Notes on Ingredients and Utensils

*Vodka, you may want to leave it to infuse a little longer (double the time) and use half the syrup — therefore half the sugar and half the water given below.  This recipe makes a liqueur that has an alcoholic content of about 30 per cent.


Try to avoid plastic as much as possible when working with strong alcohol. Glass is always preferable.

Congratulations

So, you made your Liqueur, you need a bottle and label that is cool enough to compliment your hard work. Here is a little tip, if your bottle looks good people will rave about it, put it into a cheap bottle people will make fun of you.

Citron Wine Recipe

Hey Guys and Gals!

Are you looking for an awesome Citron Wine Recipe light or full body flavor? Look no further you have found what you have been looking for! Below is the most awesome tasting Citron Wine Recipe’s in the world.

Ingredients

Step 1
  • 10 Citron
  • 3 lb / 1,350 grams sugar
  • 1 lb / 450 grams chopped sultanas
  • Water up to 1 gallon
  • Yeast nutrient
Step 2
  • 1 pack of wine yeast

Instructions

 Equipment

  • Primary fermenter (carboy)
  • stirring spoon
  • hydrometer,
  • straining bag
  • siphon tubing kit
  • 1 gallon carboy or jug
  • an airlock and bung
  • Sanitizer
  • (A thermometer and brewing belt may be used to monitor and control temperature.)

Make sure all equipment (i.e. stirring spoon, etc..) is sterilized. Contaminated equipment can let a stray yeast enter the wine and ruin it’s taste.

Step 1

Rinse the citrons well under hot water to remove dirt and wax.

Peel the citrons, and then the peel the pith off, (the white stuff).

Chop the peeled fruits and place into a sterilized wine bucket with the zest.

Mash or crush, the and citrons a little as well, an old-fashioned potato masher is ideal.

You can put back in the peel if you want to strengthen the color however it will alter the taste.

Pour on 1 gallon of boiling water, stir well cover and let cool for 24 hours.

Wait 24 hours, then you will add your prepared yeast.

Step 2

Adding in the sugar and yeast nutrients.

 Yeast Hydration and primary fermentation: in a large bowl add 1/2 cup of warm chlorine free water.

Stir the yeast into the water then let mixture stand in cup for 15 minutes, make sure it is bubbling and then you will add it to your wine.

Take your hydrometer reading and calculate all the measurements.

Attach your airlock and wait for your fermentation to be complete, let ferment with the pulp for 5-7 days gently agitate daily.

After 5-7 days when the foaming calms down you will siphon your wine off of the sediment into your secondary container which is usually your glass carboy.

(The sediment is the stuff that accumulates at the bottom of your container.)

Step 3

After you strained into your secondary carboy wait till the fermentation activity dies down (could be between several weeks to several months)

Final Step

Although yeast activity will decrease as the fermentation process proceeds, there is fermentation going on as long as you see some foaming or bubbling so wait till its totally still.

When the wine is totally still rack into a clean carboy.

After fermentation has stopped completely any remaining sugar required to sweeten it to suit your taste.

When the Orange wine has cleared and is inactive – taste and bottle.

Aging / Bottling

You can repeat the racking process several times to get the maximum clarity though I would wait in-between each time a day or to, so the sediment can settle. I personally don’t like racking multiple times because of the risk of oxidation meaning the air touching it will give it a funny taste.

Bottle using the siphon cork and let wine sit for 6-12 months before drinking.
