Lemon is a wonderful ingredient with many health-giving properties, and drinking water with lemon juice throughout the day is a great way to improve your overall well-being. However, there is a way you can get even more out of the humble lemon. The skin and pith of the lemon actually contain even more healthy compounds than the juice. To take advantage of them, thoroughly wash and dry a lemon, then pop it in a zip-lock bag and freeze it. When it is fully frozen, grate the whole lemon. (Tip: if you wear an oven mitt to hold the lemon while you are grating it, it will stop your fingers from freezing.) You can then put the grated lemon into ice-cube trays and return it to the freezer. Pop one or two into a jug of water at the beginning of each day and drink it during the day for the benefits of the whole lemon.
