The correct way to soak lemon in honey

The correct way to soak lemons in honey is as follows:

Ingredients required: 2 lemons, an appropriate amount of honey, and a clean glass bottle.

1. Take out the lemons bought from the market, and then be sure to rinse them with water. Rubbing the surface of the lemons with salt can effectively remove surface dirt. The brighter the surface of the lemon, the more careful it is to remove the fruit wax. Remove both ends of the lemon, and then cut it into thin slices. I would like to remind you that you must remove all the lemon seeds so that it will not be bitter.

2. The bottles should be washed and dried without any moisture. This will keep them fresh for a long time. First pour a little honey at the bottom of the bottle, let the honey cover the bottom of the bottle, then add 2-3 slices of lemon, continue to pour an appropriate amount of honey, and repeat until the cup is full and the lemons are covered with honey. Tighten the lid and refrigerate for 24 hours.

How to select lemons:

1. Smell: Smell carefully with your nose. Those with fresh lemon aroma are high-quality lemons.

2. Look at the peel: Choose a peel with smooth skin, no cracks, and no insect holes. High-quality lemons look medium in size, with an oval fruit shape, with both ends protruding and slightly pointed, like a football. The skin is tight and the color is bright and even. The skin of a ripe lemon is bright yellow. If the lower part of the pedicle is green, it means it is very fresh.

3. Choose size: Relatively speaking, choose lemons that are medium in size and do not choose ones that are too large. Smaller lemons have thinner peels and more juice.

4. Specific weight: For lemons of the same size, weigh them and choose heavier lemons. This kind of lemon has more water and a better taste.

5. Knead the lemon to see if it is soft or hard: You can pinch it with your hands to see if the lemon is hard or soft. If the lemon is too hard, it is not fully cooked yet. If it is too soft, the lemon has been ripe for a long time and is overripe. When buying, you should choose one with moderate hardness.
