Blend lemon with or without skin

There are some people who say that to achieve the best result, it is better to blend lemon with skin intact. I think that will produce a horrible taste in the lemon juice. I have blended lemon without skin, and I keep the juice in the fridge so that I can drink it every day. I have not tried to blend the whole lemon (with skin) before. Whenever I blend the lemon, i cut off the peel, soak the slices of peels in water, and use it for shower, and house-cleaning. It is not exactly a waste, though I do not have the benefits of getting the nutrients from the peels.

I think it is better to blend with the lemon skin. If it tastes worse, then you can try to add some honey and it will taste well after the lemon juice is freezing. I don't blend the lemon. I will slice it into pieces than put them into the honey. After that, I will put it in the fridge. When I want to drink it, I will take it out and add some water.

I think it will be much easier to blend the whole lemons with honey, and then put everything in the fridge to chill it. That is lesser work than to cut lemon into slices.

I have not tried blending lemon with skin either but I will try one time to see if how horrible or delighting would it be to my taste.

I do not have the courage to try it. I do not want to spoil a perfectly good lemon. I think you will find the taste to be bitter and sour at the same time.

You just leave the lemon peels to soak in the water overnight. You will see a layer of lemon oil on the surface of the water the next day.

Wow, that is good. That means your health is really good, since they say that the lemon peels have more nutrients than the juice in it.
