The common mistakes of soaking lemonade are many people's habits

Number one: how about making it strong? ——Lemon water must be light, a lemon with skin bubble a bar of water, can pour 3 ~ 4 cups. This kind of lemonade does not have a strong sour taste. It can be drunk without sugar or honey, so it contains less energy. Lemon must be peeled and sliced thin, because the part of the peel contains more flavonoids, which may be more valuable than lemon pulp. Lemon essential oil is also mainly in the peel, and the aroma components in the lemon peel are easy to bubble out when cut thin. Lemon peel, including other citrus peels, contains some bitter flavonoids, such as orange peel, pomelo peel and so on, but they are also beneficial ingredients. There is a little bit of bitter, and sour with hot days after drinking more thirst.

Second: no hot water? ——Some people say that lemon cannot be soaked in hot water for fear of vitamin C loss. In fact, lemon water should not be too cold, otherwise the fragrance will not come out. Due to the strong acidity of lemon, vitamin C has good heat resistance under acidic conditions, which is not as easy to lose as expected. It is no problem that the water temperature of lemon slice is higher than 60 ℃. Lemonade is not just for vitamin C. When the temperature rises, the food will be more sour, so hot lemonade will also appear more sour. To solve this problem is very simple, as long as the lemonade a little cool and then drink it.

Third: will it promote stone formation? ——Some people say that lemonade can't be eaten with foods rich in calcium. Calcium and citric acid will combine to form precipitates and even form stones in the body. This is a rumor. Calcium citrate is slightly soluble in water. The solubility of calcium citrate tetrahydrate is 0.02g/100g water, which seems not high. However, calcium citrate is a good material for making calcium supplement products, because it can be absorbed by human body without the help of gastric acid. In fact, citric acid does not promote kidney stones like oxalic acid. On the contrary, citric acid and other organic acids are beneficial to the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and other minerals in food. Studies have proved that citric acid is also beneficial to the prevention of kidney stones, and has even been used in the treatment of kidney stones.

matters needing attention

Some people say that patients with stomach disease can not drink lemonade, because too much acid will stimulate the stomach, and excessive gastric acid is not available. But in fact, using a piece of lemon to soak a large bottle of water, the taste of the soaked lemonade is very light, which is not as sour as the sweet drinks such as cola, and it will not cause gastric ulcer. It's not pure lemon juice (pH 2.5 of pure lemon juice, equivalent to cola). Because citric acid is conducive to the absorption of various minerals, Westerners like to squeeze lemon juice on fish, meat and eggs, believing that it can help digestion. For those with indigestion, adding a thin piece of ginger in lemonade and drinking it with meals will be good for promoting the secretion of digestive juice.
