Lemons are great. They are rich in vitamins and nutrients, especially Vitamin C, and are pretty versatile. They can be made into lemonade, made into lemon sauce, or lemon-flavored snacks.

Plenty of drinks are perfect with a couple of slices of lemon, be it soft drinks, alcohol, or even plain water! Today, we'll look at some foods and drinks that should also be paired with some lemon to take it to the next level!

Tea

Iced tea is nice, but iced lemon tea is even better. A cup of black tea, a few teaspoons of sugar, and a few slices of lemon to really bring out the sweetness of the tea. Add some ice and you'll have the most refreshing drink on a hot day! Not only do you get that extra taste, you also get an extra dose of Vitamin C, what's not to love?

Oysters

If you're a fan of oysters, then you must've seen them being served with chunks of lemon on the side. For the best experience, squeeze the lemon juice on top of the oyster and eat it that way. The lemon juice covers up any fishy smells you get from seafood. No sauce needed! Not only that, the acidicity from the lemon can kill and control bacteria on your fresh seafood too.

Scallops

It's not just oysters, any seafood goes great with lemons if we're being completely honest. Whether it is using lemons as condiments, as seasoning, or just cooking it straight with the meat, scallops, like their shelled friends, are made to go with lemons. Try throwing a few chunks into the pot the next time you're cooking some scallops!

Avocado

Yes, the latest craze in the healthy diet world also has a great partner. Both avocadoes and lemons are plenty rich in Vitamins, with avocadoes having Vitamins B2, B6, and E while lemons supply the Vitamin C. If you're used to adding avocado to your salads, squeeze in a little lemon juice next time to make it more refreshing.

So, a little lemon juice here and a couple of slices of lemons there will definitely up your kitchen game. It's up to your imagination to find new ideas to spice up with that yellow fruit!
