The correct way to make lemonade
1. Choose fresh lemon
Fresh lemons are particularly fragrant. The aroma of dried lemons is not as strong, and the vitamin C of dried lemons is less. Before consumption, scrub with flour, then rub the skin with a handful of salt to remove residual pesticides and waxes, and finally rinse twice with water.
2. Lemon slicing
Fresh lemon should be cut into 2-3 mm thin slices with the skin because the skin is also good for health and can quench thirst when it is hot. A normal size lemon can be cut into about 15-20 slices.
3. Refrigerate the lemon for two days
After slicing, put it into a closed container, put honey in it, add cool boiling water to submerge the lemon slices, cover the container and refrigerate it for about two days. Slicing and refrigerating are better than cutting as you go!
4. Water temperature should not exceed 70℃
The water temperature is more suitable at 60-70℃. The water is too cold to stimulate the flavor of lemons; if you use boiling water, it is easy to destroy the VC, and more bitter substances dissolved, affecting the taste and nutrition.
