[[Lemon]]s are used to make lemonade, and as a garnish for drinks. Iced tea, [[soft drinks]] and water are often served with a wedge or slice of lemon in the glass or on the rim. The average lemon contains approximately 3 tablespoons of juice. Allowing lemons to come to room temperature before squeezing (or heating briefly in a microwave) makes the juice easier to extract. Lemons left unrefrigerated for long periods of time are susceptible to mould. | [[Lemon]]s are used to make lemonade, and as a garnish for drinks.
