3 c water

coffee filters

Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat until boiling, and boil for 5 minutes. Let sit to cool, at least an hour or overnight. Mine was cloudy, as you can see, and I'm not sure whether or not that's a good thing.

Pour the limoncello through coffee filters into a large bowl. Dump out all of the lemon peels and put in a jar for safekeeping (cocktail garnishes? candied lemon peels? we shall see). Rinse out the now-empty jar. Pour the limoncello through more coffee filters back into the jar.
