Notes

  • I recommend to slice the lemons very thinly for best results. I sliced my lemons about ⅛-inch thick. 
  • You can use other citrus for this recipe, too. Oranges and limes also work great. 
  • Since you are eating the rind of the lemon, be sure to wash and scrub before slicing. It’s best to use organic lemons if possible.
