It's going to take many more lemons than I thought to make strawberry lemonade concentrate. In the meantime, before I buy the 30+ lemons I still need, I wanted to show you what I did with the lemon left after juicing...

| You should always wash your lemons first... and removing the peel might be easier before rather than after juicing, but I didn't think of this before, and it wasn't too bad. |
 |
| Remove the peel from your lemon. Only the yellow, not the white, please, as it is bitter. |
 |
| If you are a sensible person, you might boil your peel in 1/2 c. water and 1/2 c. vodka to remove impurities or wax, but since the directions don't say to discard the boiling liquid, I would assume your impurities are still in the final product, so I didn't boil. |
For every one lemon's peel, add 1/2 c. vodka. Shake up bottle and store in a dark place.
Lemon extract!
Until next time, remember, this is not paradise. It's Purgatory Ranch.
Ha! Very cool! Thanks for sharing this :-)
