Here it is the middle of winter, damp and cold, and lemons can give you a little bit of sunshine. Lemon is the perfect remedy to winter heaviness. During this season of colds and flu, you will appreciate the hefty dose of vitamin C that it delivers. Chills, fevers, and sore throats may be due to a variety of causes, never the less the lemon is always a helpful remedy. Here is a method that works well. The juice of one lemon is to be added to a cup of hot water with honey. My grandma Pauline used to give it to me when I was sick. It alway made me feel better. She called it hot lemonade.
If you prefer something cold, Italian Lemon Ice is sure to sooth your throat. We make it homemade with fresh squeezed lemons at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas and Subs.
Squeeze a lemon into your soup and it is alive with sunshine. Chicken Lemon Rice Soup is a favorite at our restaurant any time of year.
