Have something with lemon juice in it — a glass of lemonade, tea with lemon, lemon bread, a muffin with lemon curd spread on it, or a meal with lemon juice in it.
Learn about the history of lemons, how much lemon juice can be extracted from the average lemon, and what people used to use to add a sour element to food before lemons.
