You can do more than make lemonade. Infuse your water with lemon, grate the zest into salad dressings and marinades. Use the juice topically to treat acne, eczema and reduce wrinkles. This blood purifier and cleansing agent also promotes weight loss by mixing lemon juice with lukewarm water and honey. You can easily grow your own lemons, but be sure to bring them indoors during the winter months.

I have been growing my own lemons for the past few years. The plant will produce a fragrant white flower, which will leave behind a small green lemon the size of a pit. The fruit will continue to grow in a large container producing quality lemons all year long.
