Why do you need to pour boiling water over a lemon: always do this
Did you know that experienced culinary experts always pour boiling water over lemon before using it to prepare food and drinks?
They do exactly the same thing when they are about to add a piece of lemon to their tea.
Why, you ask? The expert of the online publication BelNovosti on culinary issues, chef Yulia Arkhipova, will answer.
According to her, boiling water “activates” the essential oils contained in lemon.
For this reason, the product “scalded” in boiling water turns out to be much tastier and more aromatic.
But that's not all. The procedure eliminates the bitterness, which is probably familiar to many who regularly consume lemon.
Perhaps you should also pour boiling water over the citrus plant once. Try it, compare, and evaluate.
