Thanks for reading it @krnel - appreciate it - you will have to wait but I must ask - are you allergic to lemons? ;)))

Nah ;) I've drank squeezed lemon into water. What's the reason for not squeezing it? The rind and fiber has a reason to be in water?

Yeah, there is goodness in the rind but in saying that I use organic lemons and wash them carefully and scrub them to get any chemicals off. There are organic herbicides that some growers will use.

I can't see the harm in giving them a little squeeze and throwing the rind in afterwards. I used to do that but then I read somewhere not to. I'm not sure that it makes a lot of difference now that I think about it.
