I have a really good friend who has a couple of lemon trees in her backyard. Because of this she has been giving me lemons - lots of lemons! I decided to start juicing the lemons, to make lemon juice to freeze for later use. But I ended up with tons of lemon rinds left over, so I made lemon vinegar, to use as an all purpose cleaner in my house. I already use a water-vinegar solution to clean, (but not often, because vinegar is stinky), so I'm excited to use this natural solution that smells more like lemons.
Below is a basic outline of how I made it. It's fairly simple, and easy to make.
1. Juice your lemons. Make sure the rinds are really clean.
2. Slice your lemon rinds.
3. Stick them in a glass container, that can be sealed.
4. Fill container with white vinegar.
5. Seal containers, and wait two weeks for the lemony goodness to set in. After the two weeks have passed, strain out the liquid, and combine with a 50/50 mix of vinegar-lemon and water.
Enjoy!
