Step 1
Wash the lemon with water and rub it with salt. This can remove the astringency on the surface of the lemon. After washing the lemon with salt, rinse it with water again and set it aside.Step 2
Slice the washed lemons and remove the seeds (if you don’t remove the seeds, the lemon curd will be bitter)Step 3
Pour a small amount of water (500~1000mL) into the pot, add cut lemon slices and cook until the lemon water becomes soft (you can not add water if you use a rice cooker to cook). Adding water will make it easier to cook.Step 4
Cook over high heat for about 20 minutesStep 5
Add 2500g of yellow rock sugar and cook until it meltsStep 6
After adding sugar and cooking, stir constantly, otherwise it will easily stick to the bottom and become bitter when cooked. (You can also turn to low heat and simmer slowly in the middle of the process.)Step 7
Stir until the bubbles reduce, then turn down the heat and simmer againStep 8
When you can't boil it anymore, you can turn off the heat (just see that there is no excess water)Step 9
Turn off the heat, then pour in the honey, mix well and wait until it cools before bottling.Step 10
Keep it in the refrigerator. When drinking, take it out and brew it with water. You can use hot or cold water. Cold water tastes better.
