This is a great alternative to squeezing lemons for iced tea or in recipes. I use it all the time and I feel the taste of authentic. It's concentrated so just a little packs a punch. I prefer this to real lemons because they're a hassle to cut and squeeze and, if I just need a wedge, I have to figure out a way to keep the rest of the lemon fresh. Hassle. This juice is very convenient and tastes great in my iced tea and also in some recipes that call for lemon juice. Lasts a long time in the fridge.
