After fresh lemons are washed, add salt to the skin and knead. When the fragrance oozes and oily liquid begins to appear, stop kneading. Wash the lemon with water again and put it in the refrigerator for later use. After an hour, take out the lemon and slice it. Be careful to cut the skin, or it will affect the fragrance of the finished product.
Add lemon slices into the container and start dripping honey as evenly as possible. Take out 2-3 slices of lemons, put them in a glass ready to drink lemonade, and add a proper amount of warm water to brew. If it is in hot summer, you can also add some ice cubes to the lemonade. ?
Matters needing attention
The warm boiled water needed for brewing should be controlled between 60-70 degrees, because after exceeding this temperature, the cell tissue of lemon may be destroyed, resulting in bitter taste in lemon water; Too low temperature may prevent the taste and nutrients of lemon slices from entering warm water, so the temperature needs to be between 60 and 70 degrees, neither too high nor too low.
Fresh lemons must be peeled and sliced. Because some flavonoids in the peel are high in content, such as hesperidin and naringin, which are all healthy components, and lemon essential oil is mainly in the peel, thinning is beneficial to the aroma components in the lemon peel.
