The juice of the lemon consisted of about 5-6 % citric acid, with a pH of around 2.2, giving it a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods. Lemonade, made with lemon, sugar, and water, is a popular warm-weather beverage, and the juice itself is commonly added to tea to make ice lemon tea.
Throughout the world, the fruit can be used for culinary and non-culinary purposes. Primarily it is used for its juice through the pulp and peel is also used mainly in cooking and baking. Lemon peel which is considered a waste, can be used to prepare oil, used in perfumes, soap, and flavouring purposes.
