Buona festa del papà! We wish all the Papàs and Nonnos a wonderful Father's Day and hope they enjoy being spoilt. We think the ultimate Italian film to share on Father's Day would have to be BICYCLE THIEVES (Ladri di biciclette, 1948), which centres on a poor father's search for his stolen bicycle with his lively son. What is your favourite Italian film to watch with your Papà? ❤️🇮🇹

While we still dream about our next adventure to the Amalfi Coast, it is the perfect time to learn how to make limoncello.
A wonderful way to use an abundance of fresh lemons you would find this time of the year. 🍋

What you need
7/8 thick-skinned lemons
1 l grain alcohol
1.250 l water
750 gr (about 4 cups) white sugar
One glass jar and roughly 3 1-liter bottles (make sure to wash them thoroughly with hot water before using them)
A pinch of patience and lots of love

Prepare your Limoncello in 4 simple steps
Step 1: Wash the lemons and gently peel them with a potato peeler. Make sure to remove only the yellow part, otherwise the white pith will make the Limoncello bitter.

Step 2: Place the peels in the jar, then pour the alcohol and stir. Put the lid on the jar and store it inside a cupboard at room temperature for about 30 days. Remember to shake the jar a bit once a day to better combine the two ingredients.

Step 3: After a month, take a saucepan and melt the sugar in the water, then let the syrup cool down. Once it’s cold, add the lemony alcohol making sure to remove the lemon peels with a strainer.

Step 4: Stir well, pour into the clean bottles using a funnel, and store your Limoncello in the fridge. Done!

Limoncello is one of the most popular Italian liqueurs. The yellow drink is made in southern Italy, in sunny Sicily, the Gulf of Naples, and the Amalfi Coast...
