Lemons galore - Benefits of Lemons

Many of us living here have the good fortune of owning lemon trees. Here are a few tips that I would like to share with you. Every morning we start our day by washing our 'natural, un sprayed lemons and squeezing them. Boil some water and pour into a cup with sugar, add lemon juice and stir. This is an excellent way to start the day (please read benefits of lemon). If you wish you may pour through a sieve. Sipped slowly is also an excellent cure for indigestion. I then put the skins (please make sure no pips) into the dishwasher. It's an excellent disinfectant and leaves dishes and dishwasher sparkling clean. I also use lemons as a natural way to disinfect chopping boards. I dry the peel and store them in glass jars to use in soups or stews (I also do this with orange peel). Angela
