2. put the washed lemon in the refrigerator for about an hour, and then take it out. Be careful not to freeze it for too long, and then cut it into thin slices with a knife. Fresh lemons must be peeled and sliced.
3. Then take a small bowl and add a proper amount of honey to the lemon slices, and add it evenly.
4. When you want to drink later, take out two slices of lemon, add appropriate amount of cold boiled water and mix well to eat. Lemon must be peeled and cut thin, because the peel contains more flavonoids, which is more worth soaking than lemon pulp. Lemon essential oil is in the peel, and the aroma components in the lemon peel are easy to soak when cut thin. Lemon peel, as well as some other citrus peels, contains some bitter flavonoids, which are also beneficial ingredients. They are slightly bitter, with sour taste, and they can quench their thirst in hot weather.
5. The water temperature for soaking lemon is 60~70℃. If the water in which lemons are soaked is too cold, the fragrance will not bubble out easily. If soaked in boiling water, more bitter substances will be dissolved, such as hesperidin. Some people worry that excessive water temperature will lead to the loss of vitamin C. In fact, citric acid is stronger, 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℃.
