Now, make a lemon tea:
  • Squeeze 1 lemon and take out the juice
  • Pour it in a glass
  • Add 2 g of low-calorie sugar - or you want to give it 4 g that's ok
  • Add 300-350 ml of water
  • Mix it
  • The lemon tea is ready. We can add some ice cube

In the past, my father grew a lemon and also lime trees. So basically, lemon was my daily life in the past. I just picked from the garden and made lemon tea, or harvested them and brought it to the market. My father taught me how to use this kind of fruit, such as for cooking (fish), for medicine (for cough), etc. Because at the time, most of the villagers didn't know how to use lemon for daily life. It was in the past, not today, I don't have a garden. Nowadays, I have to buy from the market. So, that's all for today. Thank you and have a nice day! ✋😊
