  • 4-5 cups icy water 

Sweetener (Pick one)

  • To get the most juice out of your lemons roll them on a cutting board while pressing it down  
  • Cut the lemon in half and then juice lemons with lemon juicer or you can equally squeeze with your hands, a little elbow grease wouldn’t hurt. Add to a measuring cup.
