Did you know there are tons of health benefits in lemon peels? They contain calcium, potassium, and are great for your immune and digestive system. I always have a daily antioxidizing lemon water (with a pinch of cayenne pepper) to start my day, and these cubes are so convenient! I learned how to make them from a dedicated customer the 4th Street food co-op.
Rinse and cut 4-5 organic lemons in half and freeze them for at least 3 hours until solid. Process these halves (skins, pith, seeds and all!) into a slush and divvy it up into an ice cube tray for one cube per day in your water. If you have a cold or flu, drinking warm liquids is the best. Add some freshly grated ginger for an extra boost!
NOTE: You can also store the pulp in a jar in the fridge, and stir two tablespoons into your water
