Unfortunately the bottled lemon stuff doesn't taste nearly as good or as
'true' as lemons do. A simple washing of the rind of the lemon obviates
any problems, the same as washing any other fruit or veg. It's not a
problem.

yup, that is what I use for lemonaid. Sweetened with Splenda they make
aa decent lemonaid. I can buy them for $1.69 at Kroger, but much cheaper
at the Commissary (I just don't recall how much now). I buy a dozen at a
time and pack 'em into the refrigerator.

Aha another recommendation. Must have a go, although we usually have
fresh lemons in the house; they freeze just fine.

ninety-nine percent of the time, when i use lemon it's the juice. the
product is very handy for that.

Must have a look then. The frozen juices tend to have fewer
preservatives in them than the bottled sort.
