[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 454962, member: 11791"] Lemons... zap in microwave for about 10-20 seconds - not until "hot", but "warm". Roll between your palm and the counter-top to soften it up - breaks down the membranes etc. Then use a very fine, very sharp grater, and grate off as much of the "yellow" (zest) as you can. Before you do the next part, borrow a teenage athlete... Cut the lemon in half, and have said teenager squeeze it into a bowl. Take what's left, cut in quarters, and float one or two in your water pitcher (depending on how big it is)... really adds a nice "touch" to plain old water. Freeze the zest in 1 tsp mounds, then into a container when frozen. Freeze lemon juice in 1 tbsp portions... I use a mini ice-cube tray. Once you have this stuff around... its so easy to just grab it. [/QUOTE]
