Stewed Lemon with Orange Peel and Rock Sugar
1.
Preparatory process: First wash the lemon with clean water, then rub the epidermis one by one with edible salt. After rinsing it, use a clean towel to dry the water one by one, and let it dry for later use. The tangerine peel should also be soaked first. After the soak is soft, let it dry and set aside. The stew cup should also be washed and dried (note that there must be no drop of water in each of them.)
2.
Cut each lemon into slices one by one with a clean knife and a clean sticky board
3.
The most important thing is to pick out all the lemon cores, otherwise the stewed product will be very bitter.
4.
Dry the dried tangerine peel and cut into shreds
5.
After all the ingredients are ready, you can put it in a clean and moisture-free stewing pot. First arrange half of the lemons neatly on the bottom of the stew pot, then put half of the dried tangerine peels on top of the lemon slices, and then put them again. The remaining lemon slices and dried tangerine peels, and finally the yellow rock sugar is placed on the top to complete the process (in addition to the lemon juice, no drop of water can flow into the stew pot during the process.)

Put rock candy on top

The pot started to simmer over water, and it took 12 hours. If it’s an electric stew pot, just keep it simmering in regular intervals. If it’s a gas stove, use a stainless steel pot to keep the water off. First boil the water over a high fire, and then adjust the minimum heat to simmer for 12 hours. Pay attention to whether the water is boiled off!
8.
After the stew is done, stir evenly with a clean spoon, and then you can bottle it after letting cool. It is better to store it in a sterilized glass bottle!

Bottled and preserved

It’s a good choice whether to drink it by yourself or give it away...

Tips:
There are no preservatives and no additives. The natural visible tangerine peel and rock sugar stewed with lemon can only be stored at room temperature for 3 months. After opening the lid, it should be kept in the refrigerator. Use warm or cold water to make it according to your personal taste. It is recommended to brew with warm water in autumn and winter. You can add black tea to make lemon tea for better flavor.
It is best not to drink for people with diabetes! ...
