STEP 1/15
In making lemon syrup, it is important to remove residual pesticides or wax from the lemon peel.
STEP 2/15
primary cleaning
Put a certain amount of baking soda in a bowl,
STEP 3/15
Dissolve baking soda with water, add 10 lemons, and soak for about 10 minutes.
STEP 4/15
Secondary cleaning
Add more than 5 tablespoons of salt and mix well.
STEP 5/15
Grasp the salted lemons one by one with both hands and rub them tightly. If you do it with your bare hands, your hands may hurt, so it would be good to wear gloves.
STEP 6/15
Hot water disinfection
Set the side of the glass bottle upside down,
Boil water with enough water to cover the opening of the glass bottle. (In the case of hot water disinfection, the preservation period is extended.)
STEP 7/15
Roll it in boiling water for about 20 seconds.
STEP 8/15
Remove lemons from boiling water and place more than 700g of sugar in a large bowl.
STEP 9/15
Slice the lemon thinly. Remove the top and bottom of the lemon. It doesn't matter if you use it as it is, but the more white parts you put in, the more bitter it may be, so it's better to cut it big.
STEP 10/15
Cut the lemon as thin as possible with a knife.
STEP 11/15
Put the sliced lemon in a bowl of sugar.
STEP 12/15
Put on the gloves and mix the sugar and lemon.
STEP 13/15
Put the lemon mixed in a glass bottle that has been drained by sterilizing it with hot water.
STEP 14/15
Add the last remaining lemon water.
STEP 15/15
There are 10 lemons in the glass bottle. Warm the mouth of the glass bottle container with sugar to prevent the lemon from being visible from the top helps to store it for a long time.
1. There are two ways to put lemon juice. The first way is to put the cut lemon in a bowl of sugar and mix it like me and put it in a container, and the second way is to put the cut lemon in and stack the sugar one by one.
2. The bitter taste of lemon syrup is the white part of lemon and the seeds of lemon. If you want to remove even a little bit of bitterness, it is important to cut off the white part as much as possible and remove all the seeds.
3. The ripening period is around a week, but it is okay to store it at room temperature for 2 to 3 days and eat it after storing it in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. When I checked the storage period, it is okay for more than a month, and white mold spreads in the container about two months after the date, so I should not leave it for as long as possible.
