sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness, while brown sugar provides a deeper flavor.

pectin

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Cornstarch can be used as a thickener, though it may alter texture.

vanilla extract

🥗Healthier: vanilla bean

💰Cheaper: imitation vanilla

Vanilla bean enhances flavor, while imitation vanilla is more budget-friendly.

ginger

💰Cheaper: ground ginger

Ground ginger is a cost-effective alternative with a similar flavor profile.

Wash the lemons thoroughly with baking soda and scrub them with a sponge.

Remove the top and bottom of each lemon, then slice them very thinly, removing any seeds as you go.

Place the sliced lemons in a large vessel and cover them with cold water, ensuring all slices are submerged.

Cover the vessel and refrigerate overnight (10-12 hours).

After 24 hours, strain the lemon slices from the water, removing any remaining seeds.

Return the strained lemon slices to the pot and cover them with fresh cold water.
