    Lemon Ice Cubes

    Ingredients

    20 Fresh lemons
    Water

    Method:
    Take juice from all lemon. (Just less squeeze the lemon and use the skin with less juice to make pickle. So we can use the same lemon in two ways)
    Use less water.
    Pour the lemon juice into ice cube trays and set till firmly frozen.
    When you want lemon juice, put the lemon cubes and add salt or sugar as per your wish and add chilled water and mix well.
    Serve with mint leaves if you use salt.

    Note: (Already I gave this tip.) You can use this ‘lemon cubes’ to make lemon rice too.
