I'm confused at step 4, after I cut the cut fruit do I put them back into the Lime liquid or drain liquid and rest in clear water? the recipe states to add 1-2 tablespoons water and soak kumquats in mixture, what is the mixture? Sorry not sure how to
I was wondering the same thing about the lime liquid. I think Vôi isn't lime like the citrus fruit, but lime like the caustic chemical. I'm guessing this based on the fact that 1 teaspoon of lime in 2-3 liters of water is a tiny amount, and also beca.
