How To Freeze Lemons

Freezing lemons is a great way to avoid waste... and ensure that you always have lemons on hand when you need them.

Tips For Freezing Lemons

  • To freeze lemons whole (with the skin on), give them a good wash and them dry them off. Place them into a sealable plastic bag and remove as much air as possible before sealing.
  • To freeze lemons with the zest removed, wrap the lemons in foil and then proceed as per the instructions above.
  • You can freeze lemon juice in ice-cube trays.
  • Defrost lemons by placing on the kitchen bench and slowly allowing them to come to room temperature. Alternatively, place the sealed bag into a sink or bowl of warm water and allow to defrost (in about 15 minutes).
