We really loved all the feedback on our "What Should We Do With These Lemons?" post. You guys left so many delicious ideas and suggestions, it was hard to decide what to do! After much careful pondering, we ended up squeezing all the lemons into ice cube trays.
What Did We Do With Those Lemons?
An ice cube tray is a convenient storage container for many liquids - fresh fruit juices, homemade stock, and herbal infusions. We decided it would be useful to freeze the lemon juice in small portions that could be used in iced tea or in other recipes that call for a little bit of fresh lemon juice.

do you dilute it at all, or are they pure juice?

Does one really freeze stock in ice cube trays? It makes sense for things like pesto where one cube is a serving, but stock?

bennyrogers,
I make stock cubes for making stir-fries, where a few cubes can be useful near the end of the cooking process for "harder" vegetables (broccoli, brussels sprouts) helps steam them done and adds a little extra flavour.

We have been doing this with blood oranges as well ..... they make great margaritas as well as syrup for pancakes and waffles!

Gosh. Those would be so great slightly diluted, and with a wee bit of honey in the mix. Pop one into a cuppa and you're good to go.
