Sweet and refreshing lemonade

by Layla suzette

I made a sweet and fresh lemon jar.
It’s good with cold soda water as lemonade or with hot water as lemon tea.
It’s great as a gift as well!

  14. Mix sugar and lemon after each step and leave the mixture on room temperature for 30 minutes.
  15. put the sugared lemon to completely dried containers.
  16. Use the remaining sugar to create a sugar ceiling and seal the container with wrap before closing the lid.
  17. mature it on room temperature for a day and extra two days inside a fridge.

Notes

put gloves on when rinsing as coarse salt may hurt your hands.
a bitter taste may come out when too little sugar is used.
lemon pith and seeds make bitter taste so make sure you removed them.
I made it thicker so that I can add it to yogurt.
you can always add less sugar.
Dicing apple too much may remove texture from the jam.
Add a little bit of cinnamon powder at a time until it matches your taste.
remove any water on tools and containers as it causes mold.
