1
Wash and Prepare the Lemons
Thoroughly wash the fresh lemons under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
2
Cut the Lemons
Cut the washed lemons into quarters, making sure to keep the seeds intact for better preservation.

3
Mix Sea Salt with Water
In a medium bowl, dissolve the sea salt in 500 ml of water. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved.
4
Pack the Lemons
Place the quartered lemons in a clean, sterilized jar. Pour the saltwater over the lemons, ensuring they are fully submerged.
5
Seal and Store
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to redistribute the saltwater.

6
Add Honey and Herbs
If desired, add honey and fresh herbs between layers of lemons before sealing the jar to enhance the flavor.
