Four points for attention in lemonade brewing

1, the best choice is fresh lemon.

Fresh lemon has a strong fragrance, and the aroma components and vitamin C of dried lemon are lost to some extent. Fresh lemon 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. Flavonoids are slightly bitter and match the sour taste of lemon itself. Drinking in hot weather can quench your thirst. The remaining lemons can be coated with some honey at the incision, wrapped with plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for three days.

2. The water temperature is 60~70℃.

The water in which lemons are soaked is too cold to soak the fragrance easily. If soaked in boiling water, more bitter substances will be dissolved, such as hesperidin. Some people worry that too high water temperature will lead to the loss of vitamin C. In fact, lemon is more acidic, and vitamin C has better heat resistance under acidic conditions and is not so easy to lose. Therefore, the water temperature for soaking lemons is generally 60~70℃.

3, lemon soaking water must be light.

If you use lemonade instead of boiled water to quench your thirst, you must soak it lightly. A large piece of lemon with peel is soaked in 1 liter of water, and you can pour 3~4 small cups. Generally brew 2~3 times. You can change it for a new one when it doesn't smell like lemon. The lemonade made in this way is not sour or astringent, but also fragrant. It can be drunk without sugar or honey, and its energy content is almost negligible. If you put too many lemon slices, you need to add sugar or honey, which is beneficial to balance the sour taste.

4, soaking in water with skin is more nutritious.

Lemon must be peeled and sliced, because the peel contains more flavonoids, which is more worth soaking than lemon pulp. Lemon essential oil is also mainly in the peel, and the aroma components in the lemon peel are easily soaked out when sliced. Lemon peel, including other citrus peels, contains some bitter flavonoids, which are also beneficial components. A little bitter, with sour taste. Drinking in hot weather can quench your thirst.
