Lemon juice without sugar and boiling - preparation for all occasions

Categories: Juices

We can talk endlessly about the benefits of lemon. It is widely used in cooking, cosmetology and in home life. The only question is ease of use. Every time you have to buy a lemon, use a couple of drops of juice, and the unclaimed part of the lemon sits in the refrigerator for weeks until it becomes moldy. To avoid such losses, it is wiser to make lemon juice and use it as needed.

Time to bookmark:

Lemon is not a seasonal fruit and there is no need to store lemon juice in large quantities for the winter. It is enough to prepare a bottle with a capacity of up to 0.5 liters, and this amount will last you for a very long time.

To make juice, choose small fruits. They are juicier, their skin is thinner, and their price tag is lower.

Wash the lemons with hot water, pour boiling water over them and wipe dry. You can grate the lemon zest at the same time, because after squeezing out the juice, you will have to throw away the peel.

Cut the lemons into two parts, and using a special device for citrus fruits, squeeze out the juice.

Strain it through cheesecloth and pour it into a clean, sterilized bottle. Close the bottle with a cork and put the juice in the refrigerator.

It does not need sterilization, pasteurization, or boiling. Sugar should not be added either, because lemon juice, unlike syrup more versatile. It can be added to meat dishes, or used for cosmetic masks, but sugar will be superfluous here.

Lemon juice without sugar, if stored in the refrigerator, is suitable for use for at least 3 months, after which you can buy fresh lemons and make a new batch of such healthy and necessary lemon juice.
