Slice a handful of lemons and limes into a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. As the solution simmers, it infuses your home with the fresh, clean scent of citrus. This method also works with cinnamon, either sticks or ground cinnamon, which delivers a homey, natural scent.
Q. What is the best way to store lemons?
Lemons are best kept in the fridge—period. Stashed in the fridge in the crisper drawer or on a shelf, fresh lemons will keep for a week or more. If you really want your lemons to last, pop them in a sealed container (there are even specialty produce keepers for this purpose) or a zip-top bag.
