Lemon juice

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Peel the lemon (preferably only the zest (less white pulp), otherwise the drink will be bitter). Put the zest aside (do not throw it away: it will be needed).

2. Step 2:

   

   Put a pot of water and sugar on the fire.Bring to a boil.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the water is boiling, take the peeled lemon and squeeze the juice (I cut the lemon in half, insert a fork into the pulp and press it gradually turning around the fork).

5. Step 4:

   

   When the water starts to boil, add the zest (you can also add mint for flavor). Let boil for 1-2 minutes and remove from heat. Leave to brew (I usually do it in the evening and leave it overnight).

6. Step 5:

   

   When it cools down, strain, add lemon juice and put it in the refrigerator.
