The First Thing To Do Before Infusing Olive Oil With Fresh Lemons
Before infusing olive oil with fresh lemons, the first and most important step is to
thoroughly wash and dry the lemons
. Here's why:
Remove Pesticides and Wax
Lemons, especially non-organic ones, may have pesticides or wax coatings on their skins
Washing them carefully will help eliminate these, ensuring your infused oil is clean and safe for consumption.
Dry the Lemons Completely
After washing, dry the lemons thoroughly with a clean towel or paper towel.
Excess moisture on the lemons can lead to mold or bacteria growth in the oil, so it’s crucial to remove any moisture.
Once your lemons are clean and dry, you can proceed with zesting or slicing them before adding them to your olive oil for infusion.
Properly preparing the lemons will help create a safe and flavorful infusion!
