Step 6
Close the container with a lid and shake the jar well until the sugar dissolves. You can slightly warm the sugar in lemon juice beforehand, then you won't need to shake the container. Store the infusion for 1-2 days in a cool, dark place, shaking it occasionally. After 1-2 days, the drink will be ready, having absorbed the aroma and flavor of the lemons and the sweetness of the sugar.
