1. Dried lemon slices
If you buy dried lemon slices, the reason why they will be bitter when soaked in water is the lemon seeds in the dried lemons. Remove the lemon seeds and soak them in water to drink. It won't be painful anymore.
2. Fresh lemons
After slicing fresh lemons, do not soak them directly in hot water, otherwise they will become bitter. Moreover, the vitamin C contained in lemons will also be destroyed by high temperatures. Therefore, when making water with fresh lemons, it is best to use warm water, and it is warm water not exceeding 50°C. The lemonade will never be bitter.
3. Add some honey or rock sugar
You can also add some honey or rock sugar to the lemon water, which will make it taste better. Since the chemicals contained in the lemon peel have a slightly bitter taste and will increase the taste as the temperature rises, you can add some honey or rock sugar to neutralize the sourness and bitterness of the lemon.
4. Pickling
Cut fresh lemons into slices, marinate them in honey for a few days, then take them out and soak them in water to remove the bitter taste. If you don't have honey, you can also add an appropriate amount of white sugar or rock sugar for pickling.
