Lemon stewed with rock sugar is said to relieve cough, prevent pharyngitis and sore throat, and is also effective for chronic bronchitis. Whether these are effective or not still needs to be verified. But no matter what the effect is, it is always good to make a cup of lemon tea in the dry season. You can drink it with hot water in winter and ice water in summer. You can also add black tea to make lemon tea and use it as a flavoring when making fruit tea, etc. ~~ It is healthier and more authentic than the grapefruit tea, honey lemon tea, etc. bought outside. Some of the recipes I found online require stewing for four or five hours, some for eight or nine hours, and some for ten hours. It is also said that if the stew is not stewed for a sufficient amount of time, it will not be effective. . These are said to be four, five, eight or nine, but I have set a standard for it, which is to stew lemon and rock sugar until they become amber. An unusually beautiful color, almost black red, that's just right~ So I stewed it for ten hours very safely.

2. Use a knife to cut the lemon into small pieces and remove the lemon seeds from the small pieces. Don't be afraid of the trouble, as the lemon seeds may make the boiled lemonade bitter!
