- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the lemons thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or wax residue.
Step 2
Cut the lemons into quarters, removing any visible seeds to avoid bitterness.

Step 4
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the lemons are broken down into a pulpy mixture.
Step 5
Using a fine-mesh sieve or strainer, strain the mixture into a large pitcher to separate the liquid from the pulp. Discard the solids.
