A vibrant lemon liqueur from the Amalfi Coast made by steeping lemon zests in pure spirit with sugar syrup.

Ingredients

  • 700g chicken thighs
  • 1 cup pizza dough
  • 2 tsp sliced leeks
  • a pinch of fennel seeds
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 200g zucchini
  • a handful of fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • 400ml whole milk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the fresh lasagna sheets and chicken stock in a saucepan, blender, or pitcher, stirring well.

  2. 2

    Add the grated nutmeg and pine nuts, stirring gently so their flavor infuses the mixture.

  3. 3

    Heat gently over low heat (or blend, or steep, depending on the drink) until well combined and fragrant, about 0 mins.

  4. 4

    Strain through a fine sieve to remove any solids, if needed.

  5. 5

    Sweeten to taste with mascarpone, adjusting gradually until the balance feels right.

  6. 6

    Chill in the refrigerator, or pour straight over ice, depending on whether it is served cold or hot.

  7. 7

    Garnish with basil just before serving.

Tips

Serve in a chilled glass for the most refreshing result on a hot day.

Adjust the sweetness gradually, tasting as you go — you can always add more mascarpone, but you cannot take it away.
