Lemons can also be frozen in ice cubes
Freeze a supply of lemons
Aromatic fresh lemons are in every kitchen to refine drinks and food rich in vitamins. Do not spoil leftover lemons or unused remains, it is worthwhile to freeze the citrus fruits.
Freeze lemon as a whole
It can not be simpler: If you often use lemon zest, the grated lemon peel, you can easily grind it off with a sharp grater from a frozen lemon. The lemon wanders unconsciously back into the freezer and waits for its next use. So you will never have to dispose of a rotten lemon again, of which you have only used some peel.
To do this, take an organic lemon with a bowl that is suitable for consumption and rinse thoroughly before placing it in the *** freezer.
Freeze lemon slices
Frozen lemon slices give homemade sodas or other cool drinks a special freshness and liveliness. Also as a decoration for food or for example a buffet you can use the sliced frozen lemons well.
Again, it is important that you use lemons whose shell is suitable for consumption. This will prevent harmful insecticides and chemicals used to treat citrus fruits from prolonging their shelf life from entering your food.
Wash the lemons thoroughly, dry them and cut them into slices of any size. So that they do not stick together during the freezing process, you should first cool the lemon slices lying side by side on a board and only when frozen, transfer them into freezer bags or boxes with lids.
Freeze lemon juice
For cooking, baking or drinks required fresh lemon juice can also be used very well in the frozen version.
- Cut the lemons diagonally in half and squeeze them out using a citrus squeezer. Put the juice in an ice cube tray and put it straight into the freezer. So the lemon juice is pre-portioned for later use. When the lemon juice cubes are completely frozen through after a few hours, you can put them in freezer bags or deep-freeze storage boxes. Thaw the required amount of lemon juice either slowly and gently in the refrigerator or put the frozen cubes directly into the drink or dish. Consume the frozen juice in a timely manner, as it loses its aroma after a few months.
