Frozen Out

The Coca-Cola Company's Minute Maid brand recently got rid of their frozen-concentrate fruit beverages, as preferences for ready-to-drink beverages have surpassed frozen concentrated juices and citrus ades you add water to.  But it's another discontinued Minute Maid product that leaves me cold.

Minute Maid also discontinued its frozen full-strength lemon juice, used  conveniently for baking and making fresh lemonade when thawed.  A bottle of Minute Maid frozen lemon juice was equal to the juice of seven lemons, and I didn't go through a single bottle as quickly as I go through seven actual lemons - which I now buy -  in adding a spritz of juice to my iced tea.  You can drink iced tea without sugar or artificial sweetener.  But drink iced tea without a twist of spritz of lemon juice?  It's like eating an ice cream sundae without whipped cream. You might as well drink iced coffee straight.

Needless to say, the act of always having to buy enough lemons to enjoy a cold glass of iced tea is annoying, but I will probably continue to buy them.  Minute Maid supposedly offers full-strength lemon juice in the refrigerated-product section of the supermarket (though I haven't seen it), and other brands sell lemon juice at room temperature - sometimes in lemon-shaped containers - to be refrigerated once first used.  I could easily buy the closest thing to the original Minute Maid frozen lemon juice, but why not go better and just go straight to the source of the juice?

Lemon juice at room temperature?
