With their sharp tang and fragrant zest, lemons are one of the great tastes of any season. Simply add a squeeze of juice to any dish. For a richer taste, grate the zest of preferable unwaxed lemons and add to sauces and cakes.
Nowadays I drink lemon juice every morning and kind of like its tangy, aromatic flavour. First thing in the morning I put the kettle on, squeeze a half of a lemon into a mug and pour the hot water on top of it, let it cool down a while and drink it into an empty stomach. It is said to have a detoxifying effect.
Here're a list of what lemons do:
- Prevent kidney stones
- Soothe a sore throat
- Support weight loss
- Add vitamin C
- Stop an itch caused by insect bites
- Aids in digestion
