Learn how to cook "Ten lemon tips for rational use of citrus". Delicious recipe.
1. If you need 1 tablespoon of lemon juice , it is not necessary to cut the whole fruit. Cut part of it as much as would be enough for you.
2. Roll the washed lemon on the kitchen counter for a while with your palm, pressing lightly against the surface (as if rolling) - this way the juice will be concentrated inside the citrus. Then, using a wooden skewer, pierce it and squeeze as much juice as you need.
3. After using the lemon in the manner specified in point 2, the fruit remains intact and may be stored in a refrigerator for future use.
4. If you need more lemon juice, again "roll" the citrus on the counter and cut into two parts. Squeeze the acidic liquid from one half, and you can freeze the bark and use it when you need it.
5. If you wash the citrus with hot water or put it in it for a few seconds, the aroma of the peel will become more saturated.
6. You can store slices of washed lemon in the refrigerator compartment in a tightly closed container. Pieces of citrus will retain their aroma and will perfectly refresh your drink when you decide to use.
7. In order not to darken the sliced fruit ( apples , pears, avocados, artichokes, etc.), spray them with lemon juice.
8. Lemon helps to remove the smell from the wooden cutting board. Just rub the surface with a slice of citrus and rinse with cold water.
9. To always have lemon peel for cocktails and pastries on hand, you can store it in the refrigerator by putting it in a jar or other container and pouring vodka (enough to cover the peel). This way it will stay fresh for a long time. See also a recipe for a preparation of orange peel for sweet fillings and several ways to prepare homemade extracts for pastries and desserts .
10. Using a garlic press, you can squeeze the juice from a lemon that has already been sliced.
