How to Make Refreshing Lemon Water

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- O uso de suco de limão espremido na hora preserva o teor natural de vitamina C e evita a oxidação com sabor metálico. - O repouso sob refrigeração por 30 minutos permite que os óleos essenciais da hortelã se difundam gradualmente na água. - O equilíbrio de um limão grande para um litro de água entrega acidez agradável sem agredir a mucosa bucal.

Ingredients

Main Course

1 large lemon
1 liter of filtered water
Sweetener to taste (optional)
Mint sprigs (optional)

Instructions

Main Course

Start by washing the lemon well under running water.

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a pitcher.

Add the liter of filtered water to the pitcher with the juice.

Stir well with a spoon so that the juice mixes with the water.

If desired, add sweetener to taste and mix again.

For a special touch, add sprigs of mint to the drink.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serve in glasses with ice and garnish with lemon slices or mint leaves.

Chef Tips

- Wash the lemon peel with a small brush under running water before cutting to eliminate any surface residue. - Roll the lemon on the cutting board while pressing gently with your palm before slicing to extract maximum juice from the fibers. - If using mint leaves, give the sprigs a light slap before placing them in the pitcher to release the aromatic oils.

Variations

- Add thin Japanese cucumber slices with peel to pitcher to boost diuretic freshness. - Add some crushed fresh red fruits to the bottom of the jar to give a pinkish color to the lemon water. - Use chilled sparkling mineral water instead of regular filtered water for an effervescent and digestive version.

Substitutions

- Regular Tahiti lime can be substituted with Sicilian lemon or key lime for more floral and sweeter citrus notes. - The culinary sweetener can be swapped for a dessert spoon of wild honey or omitted entirely. - Fresh mint can be substituted with fresh rosemary sprigs or thin slices of unpeeled fresh ginger.

How to Store

Keep the jar in the refrigerator covered for up to 24 hours. Consume preferably on the same day, as lemon juice oxidizes after long periods, losing the fresh aroma and acquiring a slightly bitter taste.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze the ready-made water, but you can squeeze pure lemon juice into ice cube trays with mint leaves and freeze the cubes for up to 3 months to use directly in glasses of water.

What to Serve With

Excellent to accompany light daily meals, salads with grilled items, fish and seafood dishes, or served upon waking on an empty stomach for morning hydration.
