Ingredients: fresh lemon, yellow rock sugar, salt.
Step 1: soak fresh lemon in hot water for half an hour, and then scrub with salt.
The second step is yellow rock sugar.
Step three, cut off both ends of the lemon.
Step four, slice, not too thick.
Step five, put on gloves and take out all the lemon seeds. Be sure to wear gloves. I didn't bring it for the first time, and my fingers were rough (if you don't remove the lemon seeds, the stew will taste bitter).
Step 6: This is a tiring job.
Step 7, smash the yellow rock sugar into small pieces.
Step 8: Prepare an oil-free and waterless stew (my 2L) with a layer of lemon at the bottom.
Step 9, spread a layer of yellow rock sugar, then spread lemon, and so on, and spread all the lemon and yellow rock sugar (if it can't be spread, stew for about an hour first, and then spread it in when the rock sugar melts slightly and there is a gap).
Step 10: Cover it with plastic wrap to ensure that no water runs in. In order to prevent water from entering, I sewed both ends with rubber bands and sealed the plastic wrap tightly.
Step 1 1, this stew for more than an hour (open the lid carefully and don't let a drop of water run in! )。
Step 12, 3 hours, no crystal sugar on the surface.
Step 13, 7.5 hours.
Step 14, 10 hour.
Step 15, 13 hours, stew well.
Step 16, there is not a drop of water in the whole process, so the lemon is still intact, otherwise it will be stewed and won't last long.
17 step, very thick.
Step 18: You can brew with warm boiled water and cold boiled water, and the concentration is according to your own preference. Don't use too hot water, the effect is not obvious.
