Step 9

Prepare the lemon juice by juicing the lemons. You can use a juicer for this, if you have one, or do this manually. I usually use lemons at room temperature. Otherwise, I sometimes microwave them for about 20 seconds to help the lemons release their juices. I also roll the lemons across the center a few times before cutting in half, and then squeeze as usual. This helps to get out as much of the lemon juice as possible AND makes the process faster.
