When you are given lemons …
Our beautiful neighbours gave me a big bag of wild grown bush lemons from their parents property, and they have been put to good use! These native Australian lemons are a great source of vitamin C to assist your immune system in these colder months and the lemon peel also contains limonene and other flavonoids that may be protective against some cancers.
Grab a warm cup of herbal tea and enjoy this cake with family & friends.
