Notes
- The lemon rind will start to release a bitter flavor after a few hours. If you don’t like the bitterness from the rind you can remove the rind before placing the lemon slices in the water.
- If you don’t remove the rind from the lemons, take them out of the water after a couple of hours to prevent the water from getting bitter.
