Frozen Lemons Recipe

2 large lemons

How To Freeze Lemons

1. Slice lemons. Rinse lemons under water and pat them dry. Slice the lemons fairly thin or cut them into wedges.
2. Freeze lemons. Lay the slices out on a cookie sheet lined with plastic wrap or a Silpat and put in the freezer for about an hour, or until frozen solid.
3. Transfer to freezer bags. Place the frozen lemon slices (or wedges) into a freezer bag and return to the freezer where they will last up to 3 months.

What Can You Do With Frozen Lemons?

When frozen lemon slices and wedges thaw they tend to be a little mushy, so you won’t want to use them for appearances sake.

• Add slices to water or tea for a pop of flavor.
• Steep them in water with ginger to make a lemon ginger tea.
• Toss them into your morning smoothie for the added nutritional perks.
• Use them to bake fish or chicken with.
