8. Juice remaining lemons and add juice to jar so that lemons are fully covered (usually 2-4 lemons)
9. Place lid on jar and leave for 3-4 days (room temperature) turning the jar upside down occasionally to distribute juices
10. After 3-4 days, refrigerate for at least 3 weeks but will keep indefinitely
