Description
A species came from Asia.
An oval-shaped, yellow fruit, is used while one wants to get a juice – by squeezing it to outdrain a liquid; also, it is being or was used for cooking. Its taste is sour. Its juice, zest, as well as pulp, are often used as a topping over a fish-meal. Lemon juice is about 5% citric acid, having pH ranging from two to three.
Lemons contain numerous phytochemicals – including polyphenols, terpenes and tannins. Lemons might have an electric charge because of a presence of acid.
People do not know for sure where lemons have come from.[source?] However, most people think that lemons first grew in India, northern Burma and China.[1][2]
Its plants vary in size, yet staying generally small; a one of highest measures six metres.
Lemons are related to oranges.

i followed this recipe relatively loosely...i used meyer lemons and i let it sit for about 2 weeks instead of just 4 days: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/limoncell... i also strained the final result through a coffee filter prior to freezing. and speaking of freezing, you'll want to put it in the freezer for a good 6 hours prior to drinking. much better after chilling out a bit.
