Notes
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. It will separate but just stir it before you use it.
The number of lemons you'll need depends on the size of your lemons. Depending on the size, it can take from 3-5 lemons to get 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice.
I highly recommend fresh lemon juice for this recipe rather than bottled lemon juice.
