INGREDIENTS

• Lemon juice – ¼ cup
• Granulated Sugar – 1 or 11/4 cup [ don’t use sugar pwdr ]
• Salt / blacksalt – 1 tsp

METHOD

Roll each lemon by applying pressure to extract juice easily  .

Squeeze the juice. Discard the seeds .

Take the lemon juice and sugar in a big plate . [ bigger the pate ,lesser the time of drying ]

Give a nice mix and spread it in a very thin layer so that it dries off fast .

Keep it under the fan for 8 to 10 hrs.

Now take a sharp object and scrape it and mix it  .

It will be bit wet .

Again spread it in thin layer and keep it to dry .

Repeat the process of drying for 8 to 10 hrs and scraping /mixing it .

By 4^th day the mixture will harden and there will be no moisture .

For me it took 4 days. It takes a ound 4 to 6 days depending on weather.

Loosen the harden mixture and break it into small pieces using a heavy object .

Transfer to a mixie jar , add 1 tsp of regular salt or black salt and grind it into fine pwdr .

Sieve it and store it in an airtight container .

Shelf life 3 to 4 mnths at room temperature.
