Getting the Most out of Your Citrus...you'll be surprised...

I have come upon something that works really well for me, and helps with the long Minnesota winters when one can not get enough citrus.  I take lemons and limes already squeezed of their juice and let them sit in a pitcher of cold water in the fridge.  Orange and grapefruit work too.  This releases the oils of the skins as well as the rest of the juice and gives the water a lovely citrus flavor.  It has to be good for us.  In addition, water that has sat for a while does not have fleuride, as that is supposed to evaporate.  I use this citrus water alone as a free alternative to Perrier, or in making frozen orange juice.  Yum...
