If A Recipe Dictates Just Lemon Zest But No Juice Do You Ignore It?

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 22 Feb 12

I can't remember the recipe in question but a few days ago I made something where the zest of a lemon was used but NOT the juice! Because I couldn't think of what to use the juice for I ended up binning it and I felt sooo guilty...

lemon zest no juice in recipes

sarcos No I do not know why myself but you can save the juice by freezing it and putting it in a plastic bag in freezer and use it for drinks or other recipes that do use it.
