Inspired by sofe sharing her recipe POMELO HOOCH recipe. Limoncello is also easy to make as long as you are patient. It's simply an infusion. It's cold steeping tea. My basic recipe: Ingredientsā€” 750ml 190 proof grain alcohol 10 lemons 250ml honey 500ml water Preparationā€” Peel the lemons while avoiding the pith (white part, adds bitterness) and place the peels in a large container with an airtight seal (I use a similar jar with a swing lid). Juice the lemons and add up to 250ml of lemon juice to the peels. Pour in the grain alcohol and seal the container. Place in a cool, dry place away from sunlight for two weeks. Gently swirl the infusion once a day. After steeping, strain the infusion through cheesecloth into another container. Combine the honey and water to make a syrup. You can do this in a pot on a stove by stirring and bringing it to a simmer. I prefer to put them in a large mason jar and shaking the hell out of it. Pour the honey simple syrup into the infusion and stir. The concoction will turn from clear to cloudy due to the ouzu effect. You now have limoncello. Transfer to bottles (I like using one like these) and either enjoy immediately, chill in the freezer, or put away in the cool, dry spot to mellow further.

Ok so I didnā€™t use a real recipe and I made this a couple of months ago. But hereā€™s what Iā€™m pretty sure I didā€¦ this recipe is for 1 gallon Ingredients: 5 pomelos or so Maybe a couple of lemons and oranges just to add a little something something 6-7 cups of sugar I think Water 1 packet of champagne yeast, DONT USE BREAD YEAST Juice the pomelos and other citrus as best you can, do Your best to not get any pulp. This can be done with a cheesecloth or strainer. Dissolve the sugar in a couple cups of water, let it cool to room temperature or slightly warmer. combine this with the juice, and add water until you have about a gallon. at this point I also added some like dried lavender and rose petals that I had lying around but to be honest I donā€™t think you could really taste them. Pour all of this in a container that has either an airlock or that you can put a balloon over the top of. This is important for the fermentation. Dissolve your champagne yeast in some warm water and pour it in there. seal that baby up with either an airlock or a balloon. Check in on her after about a month, ideally you want to let all the sediment settle to the bottom so it doesnā€™t taste as yeasty. This stuff is STRONG just fyiā€¦. Bonus is You can candy thĆ© pomelo peels

Alright y'all, standards have gotten a little lax around here and rec quality has taken a dip (I'm including myself in this). Here are some pointers for High Rec Standards. ANATOMY OF A REC: TITLEā€”This is the rec or recommendations. This is NOT a lead in. Type exactly what you're recommending here. What appears in the Title should finish this sentence, "I recommend _____." BODYā€”This supports the rec and anything goes. Supporting statements, supporting essays, additional recs, you can get silly, you can pontificate. You can do anything you want. Except putting the main rec down here. Where does it go? That's right. In the Title šŸ‘† IMAGEā€”No rules. Add one to preference. It can be relevant or a non sequitur. LINKā€”I highly recommend links but it's not as important as the Title or Body. If you are recommending something that has an online presence (music, movies, websites, products, etc.), Piffies want to click on it immediately. Don't make us google. Be kind a leave a link. EMOJIā€”No rules. Express yourself. ANTI-RECS: They exist and they are valid recs. "Anti-Rec: _____" clearly communicates this is something best avoided. But a better way format this type of Rec is to use a modifier or verb that flows with "I recommend _____." Ex. I recommend... Not Eating Tacks, Avoiding Area X, Leaving Off the Anchovies, etc.ā€”(Formatting Anti-Recs this way first recommended by tyler the Creator) ANATOMY OF AN ASK: TITLEā€”This is the question or topic of the Ask. Asks can solicit advice or start a discussion. You have some flexibility here because the Ask is expected to be expounded upon in the body if it needs more context. Just be clear. Again, this is not a lead in. Be direct and ask the question or state the topic. BODYā€”Provide more context. Narrow the recommendation field. Add relevant links. Remember, the Ask goes in the Title šŸ‘† EMOJIā€”No rules. Express yourself. ANSWERING AN ASKā€”Recs on Asks can break style as dictated by the Ask. If the Ask is looking for Recs, give Recs following style. If it's asking for opinions, give your opinion. Asking for links? Give links! Respond however you would respond some someone IRL. Asks start a conversation so you can be more conversational. But keep in mind that these Recs will appear in the main feed. So where you can maintain Rec style, do so. Example: WHATā€™S YOUR CURRENT LETTERBOXD TOP 4? A response to this with High Rec Standards would look something like this: TITLEā€”Lists your current Letterboxd top 4. You are recommending these four movies. BODYā€”Free reign here. Drop your Letterboxd @. Talk about the movies. Make a quip. Emoji. Relevant links. Nothing. IMAGEā€”Optional. Screenshot of your top four. Frame from a movie. Dealer's choice. LINKā€”Add your Letterboxd profile only if you want to be found. EMOJIā€”Whatever. But it'd be nice if it was relevant. DISCLAIMER: This is a living community document! These are only my recommendations for a foundation. Debate and Discussion of proper style are Encouraged. Any editions and changes to the PI.FYI STYLE GUIDE will be notated with attribution. Changelog: 07.26.2024ā€”Clarified a Rec is not limited to one recommendation. Recs can recommend multiple things. Thanks to shegoestoanotherschool for identifying the issue. / Added guidance for Anti-Rec format. 02.11.2025ā€”Moved SpongeBob Bubble Blowing Technique video link from the top level into the body ("some pointers") so the embed wouldn't override the High Quality instructional graphic.
