Tips and Tricks for honeyed lemons

I recommend to slice the lemons very thinly for best results. I sliced my lemons about ⅛-inch thick.
You can use other citrus for this recipe, too. Oranges and limes also work great.
Clean it up! Since you are eating the rind of the lemon, be sure to wash and scrub before slicing. It’s best to use organic lemons if possible.
We like to use a high quality local honey, we feel it enhances the end product. But any honey should work!
Use the honey to spread over toast, biscuits or add to tea!
