I love a tall glass of sparkling soda water and squeeze in lemons or limes for a very refreshing cold drink when it is hot. I also like to put slices in my hot tea in the winter to perk up the tea and to help keep the cold bugs away! When I am done with the fruit in whatever I use it for I place the rinds down the garbage disposal to freshen it up. I think everyone has tried squeezing them for juice and putting in ice trays for lemonade. I like doing the same with limes. Both are nice over fish and even in salads as the dressing and and cut the rinds in as they are so good for us. I squeeze any leftover juice in the cut pieces into the dish pan before I put the rinds down the disposal so that the juice also freshens up the dish water and makes the glasses really clean.
