I noted a couple of recipes calling for lemon essential oil. I creating a recipe that I will be trying that I am hoping will mimic Burt's Bees bar soap for men. My husband loves that soap. I have all the EOs that it calls for except for lemon.
My question is this. Can I make a strong lemon water (not using the pulp, but rather boiling or cooking the rind until it releases it's oils) and use that in place of plain water and get the lemon into the recipe that way? Does it have to be and EO. I know people can use things like tea, coffee, floral waters. I just didn't know about the lemon since there will be more citric acid.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jen
