My husband and I are very fond of tea with lemon, and especially in the winter. It often happens that the cut lemon, put a piece of tea and put into the refrigerator. And after some time, you can be surprised to find that it dried up or even corrupted, and become unpleasant smell. Such lemon just throw away.
In this article I want to tell you how long to maintain the cut lemon. I have a few secrets, thanks to which it will be like a fresh lemon.
So, once brought home a lemon, it must be thoroughly cleaned. How I do it and why, I said in my previous article. I leave a link to it at the end. Who cares - go and read.
I have three options for how to store fresh lemon for a long time:
First option
The whole lemon immediately cut into pieces a la carte. I cut into rings, then cut them in half. I take a clean, dry jar and spread the lemon slices, sprinkling them with sugar. Sugar not regret.
Lemons in the sugar stored in the refrigerator, they have not been spoiled and get comfortable - picked up the spoon and tea. If you drink tea is not sweet, then a pre-pour over lemon cold boiled water.
The second option
Similar to the first, since there is also need sugar, but it's a slightly different way. In this case, cut the lemon into slices is not necessary. Take a saucer, pour the sugar and put on him a lemon cut down. When you need lemon, cut and cut again put it down on the sugar.
The third option
For those who drink tea without sugar. Lemon cut into pieces - halves or quarters and freeze. When you want to drink tea with lemon, just got a piece and put in a cup. From the hot water it will immediately begin to thaw and to give tea its flavor. However, in this case, the tea will not very hot.
