Uses for Lemon Peel

At a doctor's suggestion, I've started drinking a glass of fresh, warm, unsweetened lemonade every morning before eating or drinking anything else.

She commented that it's an acquired taste, but I actually enjoy the flavor.

However, I'd like to re-use the lemon skins after I squeeze the lemons.

I usually drop them into a pitcher or glass of warm water and drink the lemon-flavored water throughout the day.

But this website (Thankyourbody.com) has other suggestions, too. (Thirty-one, in fact!)

I'm not ready to put lemon peel into the dishwasher...

But I might try cleaning tarnish off stainless steel pots and pans with salt, scrubbed with lemon peel.

Lots of interesting ideas to try!
