Lemon is useful in winter, but not only as an ingredient in tea. Dried slices of this citrus fruit have more uses that few people know about. What else can they be used for? We explain.
Lemon is indispensable in the kitchen. We add it to tea, meals and cakes, but not everyone knows that it is also useful in dried form, and not only when preparing food. But before you get started, be sure to pick the right fruit. They should not be pressed, soft or dried out. It is best to choose organically grown citrus fruits that do not contain pesticides. If you do not have this option, wash and scrub them well before drying.
How are dried lemons made? It doesn’t get any easier. They will be ready after three days
Preparation:
Fruit preparation is trivial. Cut the lemons into slices two to three millimeters thick. They should not be too thick, otherwise the drying process will take much longer. Place a tea towel on the radiator, then place the slices on it, rotating them regularly. It only takes three days and they will be ready for use.
Dried fruit is suitable as an ingredient in drinks, but its use is not limited to the kitchen. They are a natural air freshener and odor neutralizer, so you can spread the slices all over the house and the rooms will smell pleasant for a long time. A few slices are also worth placing in your wardrobe. Your clothes will always smell fresh.
