How to store honey pickled lemon

Honey pickled lemon actually has a good effect of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, as well as beautifying the skin, so many people like to combine the two together in life. Drinking it regularly can also help us clear our throats and moisten our lungs. Its sweet and sour taste is very popular, but we also need to understand how it is made, as well as some storage tips. Generally speaking, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a month.

1. Is it better to use honey or sugar to pickle lemons?

Of course, it is better to use honey. When pickling lemons with honey, place them layer by layer in the order of a layer of honey and a layer of lemon. Sprinkle a thin layer of salt on the honey. The purpose of adding a little salt is to "kill" as much juice as possible from the lemon slices. Another point is that a little salt can bring out the sweetness and make the taste more delicious.

The lemons pickled with pure natural mature honey can be placed directly in a cool place indoors. After being left for at least 2 to 3 days, they can be taken out and eaten. They can also be used to make black tea to clear the throat and moisten the lungs, and supplement VC. You can eat a few slices as candy when you feel like it, or you can put them next to desserts as edible decoration.

2. How long can pickled lemons be kept?

1. Honey pickled with lemon can be kept in the refrigerator for about a month, but if it is at room temperature, I suggest you put it in a cool and ventilated place, and be sure to pay attention to hygiene, because the weather is hot and it is easy to attract a lot of insects. At this temperature, it can generally be stored for about 1-2 weeks.

2. If the lemon turns black after a long time, it means that the lemon has gone bad and the honey will also go bad. It is best to use a small amount of honey and lemon to soak them. Generally, it can be drunk after pickling for 2-3 days. I feel it is best to pickle a small amount and drink it at any time.
