Preparation

Prepare the Honey Syrup

If you don't have honey syrup, you can make it by combining equal parts honey and hot water. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved. Allow it to cool before using.

Roll the fresh lemon on the counter to loosen the juices. Cut it in half and juice it until you have 0.75 oz of fresh lemon juice.
