Notes
* Once Limoncello is ready for serving you can transfer it to small containers. Store in the freezer.
* At stage 2: depending on the size of your container, you made need to divide the mixture into two containers after you’ve added the sugar water to the lemon vodka mixture. I recommend combining both and then dividing between two containers. Alternately, you could divide the mixture into smaller containers at this step.
