Lemon juice powder or ready mix recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Lemon juice mix is prepared using lemon juice, sugar, pinch of salt and little ginger. Salt and ginger are optional, which either you can skip it or replace it with any other ingredients of your choice. You can prepare this lemon juice powder or lemon juice ready mix and store it for one year without refrigeration.
Lemon juice powder is very useful. You can prepare lemon juice powder, when you have excess lemon and store it for more than a year. You can keep this as handy for sudden guests, for kids and also while travelling.
For 1 cup lemon juice, 4 cups of sugar will be ideal. However you can adjust the sugar as per your sweet level. You can add brown sugar to make it healthy. Also you can get creative and add any other masala of your choice. I have added pinch of salt and little ginger. You can add cardamom too.
The whole process of making lemon juice powder take 4 - 5 days. Instead you can simply mix lemon juice with the powdered sugar and store it. That also works and stays good for long time without refrigeration.
