    No idea but I use melissa (lemon balm) the same way if I have run out of lemons. I add it right at the end of cooking and just let it wilt. Maybe you could try using that instead? It's great in teas and desserts. And, um, bathwater. It's a lovely little herb, but it's so invasive it makes mint look tame, so probably best growing it in a container. Also you shouldn't use it if you've got an underactive thyroid.

    If you get a bottle of lemonade that even knows what a lemon looks like, you should frame it, not drink it! Ah well, you know what they say. If life throws you lemons, make lemonade. If life throws you lemonade, use it to feed your flowers...

    LOL I will :)

    I remember many years ago making home made lemonade, but cant remember exact way. Just lemons and soaking the rind in hot water, some sugar etc it was really nice much better than shop bought. I do like that old fashioned lemonade, Asdas own brand is nice when I can get to a store, but will have very little lemon juice I would expect
