The bitter taste of lemon soaked water is due to the bitter protein contained in the soaked lemon, which is mainly found in lemon peel and lemon seeds.
We usually make lemonade, and most of the bitterness is because we soak lemon peel and lemon seeds when we make lemonade. These bitter tastes are more likely to dissolve at higher temperatures, and they are more dissolved after soaking in water for a longer time. So when we soak lemon bubbles at too high a temperature, the longer we soak, the stronger the bitter taste will be.
In addition, lemons that are not fully ripe contain a heavier bitter taste. As a result, some freshly picked lemons have a stronger bitter taste than fully ripe lemons.
Therefore, if you have a bitter taste in lemonade and do not want to drink lemonade with a bitter taste, you can deal with it from these aspects.
1. You can peel and seed the lemon. Reduce the part that contains a bitter taste.
2. Choose the water temperature of lemonade within 60. Soak fresh and ripe lemons, and if you don't soak them in water, they are too long.
3. You can also add some sweetness in moderation, such as sugar, honey, etc. Make it taste better.
Of course, if you soak bitter lemonade and don't dislike it, drink it. In fact, bitter lemonade also has certain benefits.

Causes of bitterness in lemon soaked water:
1. Soak in water with skin
Because the lemon skin contains a layer of natural oil, it has a slightly bitter taste. In addition, lemons contain limonin, and if the lemon is soaked directly in water, the lemonade may be bitter.
2. The water temperature is too high
Lemon peel is rich in flavonoids, which are more likely to dissolve bitterness at higher temperatures, and the longer it is soaked, the more it will be dissolved, so lemonade is bitter when it comes out.
3. The lemon is not ripe
Unripe lemons not only contain bitterness, but also astringency, and soaking in water with unripe lemons may reduce the sweet and sour taste of the lemon itself, causing the lemonade to be bitter.
4. No seeds
When the lemon is soaked in water, the seeds are not removed, and the water that comes out is bitter. Because lemon seeds are relatively high in limonin, lemon seeds should be removed before soaking.
5. Leaving it for too long
If the lemon is left for too long, the active ingredients in the lemon are easy to be oxidized during the air-drying process, the moisture will become less, and it may also deteriorate, resulting in the lemonade being bitter when it bubbles out.
Myths about lemonade:
Some people think that lemonade should be thicker, but in fact, a slice of lemon can make a large bottle of water. Such lemonade does not have a strong sour taste and can be drunk without added sugar or honey, so it contains less energy.
Lemon must have the peel, the slice must be thin, because the peel part contains higher flavonoids, which may be more worthy of soaking than the lemon pulp, and the lemon essential oil is also mainly in the peel, and the aroma in the lemon peel is easy to bubble out when cut thin.
Lemon peels, including other citrus peels, contain some bitter flavonoids, such as hesperidin and naringin, but they are also beneficial ingredients. It has a slight bitter taste, which is combined with the sourness, and it quenches your thirst when it is hot.
Some people say that lemons should not be soaked in hot water for fear of vitamin C loss. However, if you soak the lemon in cold water, it is likely that the fragrance will not come out. Due to the strong acidity of lemons, vitamin C has good heat resistance under acidic conditions, and is not as easy to lose as imagined, and the water temperature of soaking lemon slices is not higher than 60 degrees.
