Ma Ma, how do you usually eat lemons when you buy them? Is it used to make freshly squeezed juice or sliced into water for drinking, or is it to help remove fishy meats? Let you get a new skill today, a salty lemon to treat colds and coughs!

In autumn and winter, the climate changes and the haze weather increases. Regardless of adults and children, throat problems will occur. It is difficult to cure the phlegm for a long time, and it is difficult to get a cure in time. It is said that this salty lemon is very magical, can relieve cough and reduce phlegm, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. It is definitely an immediate effect for general sore throat, cold and cough in the early stage. It is usually used to protect the throat, moisturize the lungs, and beauty and health care is also beneficial. The method of making salted lemon is very simple. It only needs lemon, coarse salt, and a sealed jar, but the time cost is very high. It takes at least one year to pickle for medicinal value. The longer the time, the better the effect. The precipitation of time can be transformed. Blindly good medicine.

Seal a bottle of salty lemon with Yuzi mom this winter, and wait patiently for one, three, five years, maybe you can keep a bottle to 20 years, is it just XO-level salty lemon? (*∩_∩ *)′ The picture shows the salty lemon that I made 8 months ago. I made 10 kilograms of lemons at one time. I opened the scoop and drank 2 tablespoons of boiled water and honey. Well, it tastes good.

Ingredients

500g Lime
85g Coarse Salt

Salted Lemon

1. Boil the sealable glass bottle in hot water and dry it for later use. . . Soak the lime in salt for ten minutes, rinse it, and let it dry. When pickling, the skin of the lemon should not have any moisture. . . Salt recommends this kind of coarse sea salt with very large particles, not family salt. I bought sea salt and airtight jars specially for making salted lemons.

2. The method of marinating is very simple. Put the lime in a glass jar, add a layer of lime and a layer of coarse salt to the bottle and seal it. Over time, the coarse salt will slowly melt. Tips: Don’t get the salt outside the bottle mouth. The live button of my bottle mouth is iron. I didn’t care to get one bottle, and the live button was corroded and broken for a period of time.

3. Open the lid every one or two days during the first month of pickling. When pickling, the top lemon near the bottle mouth will be partly exposed to the air. Sprinkle some pickling salt on the exposed surface to sterilize it. There is no need to worry about decay and deterioration. A week later, the color of the lemon has changed from green to yellow.

4. The volume of lemons gradually shrinks due to the precipitation of moisture. After marinating for one and a half to two months, it can be clearly seen that the lemons have become deflated. If there are too many marinated at this time, you can pour the bottle. I happened to combine the bottle of lemon and the separated hydration into the other bottles, 5 bottles changed to 4 bottles.

5. After marinating for one year, it can be opened and eaten. The longer the curing time, the better the treatment effect.

6. When taking it, lemon: honey=1:4, you can take a lemon and 4 times the honey with a blender to break it evenly, and store it in a sealed container. When drinking it, use a spoon to dig it out (a lemon can be taken for several days), and take it with warm water.

Tips:
Yuzi Mom Baidu downloaded the effect of salty lemon, and share it with you here:

Salted lemons are made by pickling fresh lemons and coarse salt, and have unique effects and functions. Although salted lemon is very simple to make, its efficacy should not be underestimated. In the early stages of a cold, drink it with salty lemon soaking in water, it will have an immediate therapeutic effect. Whenever the season changes, people with poor resistance are prone to catch a cold. A cold is usually accompanied by a cough. The two symptoms strike at the same time, which greatly affects normal life. If you drink it with salted lemon soaked in water when the cold starts, you can quickly cure the cold, and the effect is immediate.

In addition to treating colds, soaking in salty lemon water can also relieve cough and reduce phlegm. When you feel phlegm in your throat or you can't cough up phlegm, drink it with warm boiled water in the morning to brew salty lemon, which can smoothly cough up the phlegm and greatly reduce the discomfort. In autumn and winter, we often use salty lemon soaking in water to drink, which can play a role in protecting the throat and moisturizing the lungs. The general swelling and sore throat is not a problem.
