Brisbane chef Jan Cranitch has a quick and easy way to preserve your excess lemons, so you can use them later on.
You can use them in baking or cooking, or dip the rim of your Margarita glass in the preserved lemon juice and then in sea salt flakes when you’re making cocktails.
As a bonus, they look pretty fancy as well.
