Stewed Tangerine Peel with Lemon
1.
Prepare ingredients.
2.
Wash the lemon first. Some lemons are waxed when they are sold, so we have to rub the skin with salt.
3.
Rub the lemon into the water to clean it.
4.
Clean the skin of the lemon after washing, and cut off the head and tail ends of the lemon. Don't be reluctant, because the two ends of the lemon will be bitter. Another reason is that its two ends are basically full of skin, no pulp, which will increase the bitterness. The slices should be even, not too thick or too thin; I cut them a bit thinner.
5.
Carefully pick out each seed of the lemon with a toothpick. The seeds must be cleaned up, otherwise it will increase the bitterness of the finished product.
6.
Turn the rock candy on high heat in a microwave oven for two minutes, and it can be easily broken into loose granules after taking it out. Try to use yellow rock candy. I use this yellow rock candy, which has a lighter color. You can put more sugar, my amount is not too much! Because there is no water, the soup in the lemon paste comes entirely from rock sugar and lemon.
7.
Put the sliced lemon slices, Xinhui tangerine peel, Luo Han Guo, and rock sugar in sequence. Do not put water, and remember not to put water. I added Luo Han Guo. On the one hand, it has a sweet and refreshing taste. On the other hand, it also has the effect of clearing away heat, moisturizing the lungs, relieving cough and reducing the throat. You must choose Xinhui tangerine peel, which has a fragrant taste. The longer it is, the better the effect. It also has the effect of regulating qi, reducing phlegm and relieving cough. The kind made like orange peel, yellow in color, and cut into silk. Although the price is cheap, the effect is not good. You must choose the right material.
8.
I chose the bird’s nest button in the electric stew pot. The program is set to eight hours. You can also adjust the time longer. The water-storing stew consumes very little water, and it will not dry the pot after 10 hours of stewing.
9.
This is a lemon paste that has been simmered overnight. It is a finished product for eight hours. You can simmer it for ten to fifteen hours. The longer the time, the darker and brighter the color, the thicker and thicker the better.
10.
Enjoy it! Don't throw away the lemon after soaking in water, you can also eat it.
