If the citrus juice is just for flavoring, then lemon thyme, mint, lemon
verbena (IMO smells better than lemon), lemon basil, and lemon balm (smells
like furniture polish to me), lemon grass, and lemon rose geranium are some
choices. Or - egad, unflavored lemon Koolaid, which of course, never ever saw
a lemon. If for the acidic amount, rice wine vinegar might be an option.
