Nobody wants to drive a lemon, but there are countless reasons for cooking with this versatile fruit. Lemon juice, rind and peel can be used in a variety of food and drink recipes including marmalade and lemon meringue pie, and the leaves make a refreshing tea. Lemon juice helps bring out the flavor of seafood. We love lemons as a garnish with iced tea in the summer.
