　　How to Make Lemonade Better

　　1. It is best to choose fresh lemons

　　Fresh lemons have a strong aroma, while dried lemons have a certain loss of aroma components and vitamin C. Fresh lemons must be peeled and cut into thin slices. Because some flavonoids in the skin are higher, such as hesperidin, naringin, etc., they are all beneficial healthy The ingredients of lemon essential oil are mainly in the peel, and cutting it thin will help the aroma components in the lemon peel to soak out. Flavonoids have a light bitter taste, which matches the sourness of lemon itself, making it more thirst-quenching when the weather is hot. You can apply some honey on the cut area of ​​the remaining lemons, wrap them in plastic wrap, and store them in the refrigerator for three days.

　　2. Water temperature 60~70℃ is more suitable

　　The water in which the lemon is soaked is too cold and the fragrance cannot be easily brewed. If soaked in boiling water, more bitter substances, such as hesperidin, will be dissolved. Some people worry that too high a water temperature will lead to the loss of vitamin C. In fact, lemons are highly acidic, and vitamin C has better heat resistance under acidic conditions and is not so easily lost. Therefore, the water temperature for soaking lemons is generally 60~70°C.
