Lemon with your tea? Yes, Please!
I don’t know how many others out there LOVE their tea like I do, but no matter how much tea I drink I can never seem to use the whole bag of lemons before one or two shrivel up on me. What I have started doing was freezing the lemons, cutting one at a time and use as needed. The problem with that is by the time I was ready for the second lemon, it was frozen solid and I was unable to cut through it…ugh. I found a little hint on Pinterest that suggested you slice the lemons, stack wax paper between each slice, and then freeze in a container or bag. Once again there was a problem for me, I only use half a slice of lemon in my cup of tea so I inevitably waste half of my lemons that way or my tea was too “lemony”.
You would think this shouldn’t be such a difficult subject, I guess I just make things more difficult than necessary at times. I eventually figured it out. One morning while making biscuits (the “flash frozen” kind) it dawned on me that I could do this with my lemons. So I put the lemons in the freezer, let them stay until they are slightly frozen. I then slice the lemons and cut the slices in half and place them into a ziploc bag and freeze. I can now just take one half a slice of lemon as I need! I am a happy girl! That’s my cup of tea!! 
See the ice crystals on the slices!
Hope this helps you save your lemons!

I love my tea with lemon too, so thank you! And now with the hot weather I like it cold, so I add ice cubes, but now I can add frozen lemon!!
PERFECT!!!
I just make my two rugrats eat the rest after I’m done making some tea for two
As long as its not wasted, right? lol
ABSOLUTELY! !! Nicholas lives eating lemons too. I will never understand how little ones can do that. Lol
I have the same problem with limes. I put them in a many of my favorite cocktails, but should I drink more just to keep them from spoiling?!
Well of course! Hehe
Thank you. Great tip and I didn’t even know you could freeze lemons. I don’t even buy them buy the bagful, but sometimes still end up pitching a lemon and feeling guilty.
You’re welcome!!! So glad I could help
I hardly ever buy lemons for the very reasons you’ve given. This sounds like a great idea – thank you! Now I can buy lemons and not have to throw them away!
U r very welcome!!
Thanks for the suggestion!
