Those who followed the Kuroko no Basket series saw various ways athletes improved their physique through training and nutrition. Lemon with honey serves to replenish energy and contains vitamin C, and it’s very refreshing to eat it cold.
The preparation is super simple and quick. The time-consuming part is waiting a few days for the lemon to become sweet. You can eat the lemon or use the honey and squeezed lemon to make lemonade. If you use sparkling water, it becomes a great natural soda! Or you can use it to flavor cakes and cookies. As it is a marinade, these lemons have a shelf life of 3 months in the refrigerator.
About the lemons: In the anime, Sicilian lemons were used, which are milder and more aromatic. If you don’t have this type of lemon in your city, you can substitute with Tahiti/white lemon (the one with a greenish skin) + pear or Bahia orange. I do not recommend making this marinade only with Tahiti lemon, as it is extremely acidic and can compromise the flavor. So balance between lemon and orange.
