Tips
- You can use vodka instead of everclear.
- Don't throw away the used lemon peels; dehydrate them to use in baked goods, dressings, tea, body scrubs, or spice rubs.
- Use the freshly squeezed lemon juice combined with simple syrup and water to make Italian lemon ice push pops or lemonade.
- Put lemon rinds in the garbage disposal to help it smell nice, but do not overload it.
