Notes
Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Roll them on the counter before juicing for maximum juice yield.
If the mixture seems thin after adding lemon juice, don't worry; it will thicken as it chills.
For neat slices, dip your knife in hot water and clean it between cuts.
Garnish just before serving for a vibrant presentation with lemon zest, mint, or cookie crumbs.
