1. Fresh lemon should be chosen for making lemonade. Fresh lemon peel contains more flavonoids, whether hesperidin or naringin, which are more beneficial to our health.
2. When making lemonade, the temperature is very important. The water temperature is too low to produce the unique flavor of lemon; boiling water will make you feel bitter taste, because high temperature will cause more bitter substances to dissolve out, so it is recommended that you choose 60 ℃ ~ 70 ℃ boiled water for brewing.
3. Lemonade with glass to bubble the most reliable, do not use plastic cup. Because lemon contains a lot of citric acid, the skin also contains fat soluble essential oil, the use of plastic cups in the brewing process, it is easy to acid dissolve the plastic, bad for health!

For patients with stomach diseases, they should be more careful in drinking and pay attention to the dosage. Generally, a cup of lemonade is enough.
