Instructions
- Roll each lemon on the counter with a little pressure from your hand to break up some of the pulp so it's extra juicy.
- Make a small slice at each end of the lemon so there is a flat surface on both ends. Slice the lemons in half.
- Stick a peppermint stick into the center of each lemon, pushing it to the bottom. You may need to make a small "X" in the center of each lemon with a sharp knife if the lemon stick doesn't push in easily. Use the lemon stick like a straw to suck up the lemon juice. It may take a bit for it to start working, but the juice will eventually flow up through the porous candy.
