Summer and lemonade go hand in hand, but there are other lemon juice recipes too. In fact, there’s a lemon juice recipe for every occasion.
Whether you’re looking for cocktails, party drinks, or breakfast beverages, this recipe collection gives you a variety of options.
Lemon Juice Benefits
Lemons have long been a part of remedial practices, including supporting heart health, controlling weight, and preventing kidney stones.
1. Antibacterial
Lemon juice has antibacterial properties. It has been proven to inhibit the growth of Salmonella, a group of bacteria common in foods such as eggs.
It has also been linked to cucumbers, tuna, and various other foods. So it’s good to drizzle some juice on uncooked foods like salads and ceviche.
2. Low-Calorie
You can combine lemon with water to make a low-calorie beverage. Lemon water is not as intense as plain lemon juice.
You only need a small amount of lemon juice to receive health benefits. And drinking it undiluted will leave you with a very sour taste in your mouth.
3. Hydration
Combining it with water makes it more palatable and could also help you drink more water during a day. You might find you appreciate the teasing bitterness, and it makes you want more.
Increasing your hydration can help you to sleep better, maintain joint lubrication, and enhance your mood.
4. Vitamin C
You also get 18.6 mg of vitamin C— almost 25% of the Daily Value (DV) from the juice of one lemon.
Vitamin C is essential to rebuilding and growing body tissue. Better yet, pair it with iron-rich foods, like kale, for maximum iron absorption.
