Chanh muối in glass containers

Chanh muối is salty pickled lemon in Vietnamese cuisine . The name comes from the Vietnamese words chanh (" lime " or " lemon ") and muối ("salt"). For the preparation of chanh mu Ziti , lemons are placed in salt water in a glass container and stored in the sun. During the process, the fruit juice dissolves the salt and creates a salty-sour liquid, the finished chanh muối .

preparation

Chanh muối is served with sugar and water as a drink of the same name. To do this, a small piece of rind and pulp is crushed in a glass, filled with water and sweetened. In Vietnamese restaurants it is listed as "salty lemonade".

Although the drink is mostly served cold as a refreshing summer drink, it is also known as a hot drink for colds. Many Vietnamese eat the leftover fruit after drinking the glass. Outside of Vietnam, lemons are often used instead of limes. The first commercial brand was sold in bottles in Southeast Asia by Dan Vo.
