White vinegar

For thousands of years, white vinegar—also known as distilled or spirit vinegar—has been a staple in households all across the world. This versatile liquid offers a lot of uses in cleaning, gardening, and cooking. There are even medical uses for it.

When only a small amount of lemon juice is required, white vinegar makes a great replacement in cooking and baking. It has a tangy and acidic flavor similar to lemon juice. It may be used as a substitute in these recipes. However, if lemon is one of the main flavors in many recipes, white vinegar shouldn't be used in place of lemon juice since it has a very powerful, unpleasant flavor and aroma.
