In general, people have been trained to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and have to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be very nourishing and good for you. Some foods honestly do improve your mood when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, test out some of these.

Grains can be excellent for fighting a bad mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really wonderful for helping raise your happiness levels. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. Feeling starved can be awful! These grains can improve your mood since it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood sugar which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

You can see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are not good for you to feel better! Test out these suggestions instead!

We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to limoncello recipe. You can have limoncello using 7 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

The ingredients needed to cook Limoncello:
  1. You need Ingredients
  2. Prepare 12 medium size lemons
  3. Take 1 750-ml bottle of high proof vodka (140+ proof)*
  4. You need 3 cups of sugar
  5. Get 3 cups of boiling water
  6. Prepare Hardware
  7. Prepare 1 2-quart mason jar with lid and ring
Steps to make Limoncello:
  1. Scrub the lemons under running water to remove any pesticides and particulate matter.
  2. Add to a 2 quart mason jar the vodka.
  3. With a vegetable peeler, peel wide strips of zest from the 12 lemons. Try to avoid the white pith as much as possible. (As you can see from the photo below, I need to work on my peeler skills. :-(
  4. Add the lemon peels to the vodka and seal the jar with the lid and ring. Let it stand for 2 to 4 weeks. 2 weeks will yield a very good lemoncello. However, 4 weeks will yield a superior product with more complex flavors.
  5. Whenever you decide your limoncello is ready for consumption, create a simple syrup by adding the sugar to boiling water. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved into the water. Let the syrup cool.
  6. Add the syrup to the mason jar and stir to incorporate.
  7. Store in refrigerator for 1 day. Strain out the lemon peels and bottle.
  8. Keep your limoncello in the freezer to serve ice cold shots. It will not freeze. You can store it for up to 3 months, but I doubt it lasts that long.
  9. Cin cin!
    • Originally I made this with Everclear. It did not taste as good as the limoncello that my parents made. Mine had a harsh taste to it. After checking with my parents, I found out that they used a high proof vodka such as, "Devil's Springs". My advice would be to steer clear of the Everclear. There is a reason that stuff is only 13 bucks a bottle.
