substitute for lemon juice?

Is there a low carb sub for lemon juice? Maybe lemon extract and water?
Anyone try anything that works?

Why can't you use lemon juice?

How much are you using?

A tablespoon or so isn't going to be a big deal, it has 1.3g carbs.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Why on earth would anyone want to use a substitute lemon juice???? That
liquid [censored] that comes is the fake plastic lemon is the most vile thing on
earth.

Why? How many carbs do you think you get out of a squeeze of lemon? Not
many.

It's low enough it doesn't need to be substituted.

Zest. Grate the outside of the rind and it makes a bit of
oil liquid that is very strong plus a tiny bit of pulp.
Doesn't take much. I've used zest of lemon, lime, orange,
mandarin and citron. Citrons are basically only good for
their zest and they are all rind and seed, but they look
really cool growing in the yard. It would probably work
okay from any other citric like grapefruit or kumquat.

Zest is used in baking but I've used it as a spice or
flavoring in low carb stuff. Not really a substitute in
that sense, more something cool to try for variety.

There are a several things that work: lemon zest finely grated and
citric acid which is also called "sour salt" and lemon oil. But why
bother? Lemon juice is pretty low carb already.
