👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add soy sauce and water to pot and bring to a boil.
2. 2Turn off the heat and add sugar slowly to the pot. If sugar is added too much at once, the soy sauce may boil over even though the heat has been turned off.
3. 3Stir the pot to make sure all of the sugar is dissolved.
4. 4Now add the sake and mirin to the pot and turn the heat to high and bring to a boil again.
5. 5Core and cut up the apple and lemon into thin slices.
6. 6When the soy sauce mix boils, turn off the heat and add the apple and lemon slices to the pot.
7. 7Close the lid and keep the pot in a cool place for 12 hrs.
8. 8Take out the apple and lemon slices. Store the flavored soy sauce in containers for later use. If you live in a hot climate you may want to store the soy sauce in a fridge but it should keep for months in milder areas.
