Seasoning to cultivate | Spicy lemon syrup that raises the corners of the mouth

<Working time 30min + soaking

 I did my best 😌. Taking a moment to lift the corners of my mouth makes me feel like I can face forward and challenge new things.

 Even when you don't have time for yourself due to work or childcare, take a moment to relax.

 Oligo sugar is great not only for gut health but also has a relatively low GI. Additionally, when pickling fruits, it produces results faster compared to using solid sugar, and the risk of mold is lower.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

【Ingredients】※ Use spices to your liking.

・Lemon...2 pieces Since you will be using the peel, please choose ones that do not have preservatives or other chemicals.

・Oligo...appropriate amount (about the same as the lemon)

・Cardamom (whole) 5 pieces

・Cloves (whole) 5 pieces

※ Adding cinnamon sticks or rosemary makes it delicious♪

【How to make】

1. Wash the lemon※ and wipe off the moisture.

※ There are various methods such as salt, baking soda, boiling water, and food-safe detergents, but since polyphenols and limonene are contained in the lemon peel, please be careful not to blanch for a long time.

 For those who are not fond of the bitter taste of lemon or for children, please blanch it 2-3 times.

 

2. Slice it and remove the seeds.

 The taste doesn't change even if you leave the seeds in, but it's a hassle when eating, so remove them at this stage.  

3. In the storage container, layer the oligo and lemon, so that the oligos stick to the surface of the lemon.

 Hokkaido Dosanko Oligo looks like brown sugar in the product photo, but it’s not that dark to the point of making the dish brown, lol.

4. If you leave it, moisture will come out of the lemon, so it's fine as long as about 60-70% of the lemon is submerged. Add the spices as well.

5. Since you will be shaking it regularly after this, when putting on the lid, it's best to cover it with plastic wrap.

 You won't have to worry about the lid becoming rock hard or the top lid getting sticky!

6. After putting on the lid, turn it upside down so that the surface of the lemon is coated with syrup.

 Mold will grow from where the lemon is exposed to air.

 Put it in the refrigerator, and by the next day, the lemon syrup will be ready.

 Occasionally, turn it upside down to even out the concentration.

 When you brew strong black tea and float a lemon, the color brightens up instantly.

This moment, beautiful, I love it.

 

Now, let's take a breather,

Are you going to see Japan's fine products at Inazou Rice Store!! 

Are you doing housework?

 

The thumbnail is a sparkling water mix!

The difference in the finish when hot water treatment of the skin or blanching is done looks like this.

For those who are not fond of the bitterness unique to citrus fruits or for small children, please try blanching about three times as a preliminary treatment.

↓ With blanching ↓ Can you tell the difference in the state of the skin? The photography skills...

The blanching process is also done when making orangettes, so I wonder if they can be eaten with the skin on? But I've only eaten the flesh.

 

-----------------------

I received small American oranges, so I tried pickling them. This is the orange version.

Blanching three times + fructooligosaccharide pickling

Blanching: Put water in a pot and add the orange. → Once it boils, lift it up with a strainer and put it back on the heat with water. 

 

Next, it seems good to make a mimosa-style cocktail with champagne ( ´艸`)
