The water temperature is 61~71℃.

The water in which lemons are soaked is too cold, so the fragrance is not easy to soak out. If soaked in boiling water, there will be more bitter substances dissolved, such as hesperidin. Some people worry that too high water temperature will lead to the loss of vitamin C. In fact, lemon is more acidic, and vitamin C has better heat resistance under acidic conditions and is not so easy to lose. Therefore, the water temperature for soaking lemons is generally 61~71℃.

people with hyperacidity can drink lemonade only by soaking it as lightly as possible, because a small amount of citric acid is beneficial to the repair of gastric mucosa. For people with indigestion, adding a thin slice of ginger to light lemon water with meals is good for promoting the secretion of digestive juice.

Precautions for soaking lemonade

1. It is best to choose fresh lemons. Fresh lemon has a strong fragrance, while dried lemon has a certain loss of aroma components and vitamin C. Fresh lemons must be peeled and sliced. Because some flavonoids in the peel are higher, such as hesperidin and naringin, they are all healthy components, and lemon essential oil is mainly in the peel, and thinning is beneficial to the aroma components in the lemon peel.

Flavonoids have a slight bitter taste, which matches the sour taste of lemon itself. Drinking them in hot weather can quench your thirst. The remaining lemons can be coated with some honey at the incision and wrapped with plastic wrap, which can be stored in the refrigerator for three days.

2. soaking in water with skin is more nutritious. Lemon must be peeled and sliced thinly, because the part of the peel contains more flavonoids, which is more worthy of soaking than lemon pulp. Lemon essential oil is also mainly in the peel, and the aroma components in the lemon peel are easy to soak when sliced thinly. Lemon peel, including other citrus peels, contains some bitter flavonoids, which are also beneficial components. It has a little bitter taste and cooperates with sour taste. Drinking it in hot weather can quench your thirst.
