Freezing lemons in ice cubes is a great way to preserve them for later use. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Wash and Chop: Thoroughly wash 2-3 lemons and then chop them into smaller pieces.
- Blend with Water: Place the chopped lemons into a high-speed blender. Add a small amount of water to help the blending process.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until you achieve a smooth consistency. Add more water if necessary to reach the desired texture.
- Pour Into Ice Cube Trays: Carefully pour the blended lemon mixture into ice cube trays, filling each cube compartment.
- Freeze Until Solid: Place the ice cube trays in the freezer and let them freeze until the lemon cubes are solid.
- Transfer to Freezer Bag: Once frozen, remove the lemon ice cubes from the trays and transfer them to a labeled freezer bag or container. This will prevent freezer burn and keep them organized. Be sure to label the bag with the date.
This method allows you to easily add a burst of fresh lemon flavor to drinks, recipes, and more whenever you need it.
