Notes
I usually make about 1 cup and store it outside the fridge on my counter. The lemon and oil will separate, but you will just need to shake again the jar to recombine the ingredients. You can also store it in the fridge, the oil will solidify in that case, so I usually take it out 30 minutes before using and shake it to recombine the ingredients.
It will last 1 week.
You can add herbs, spices or onions to vary this easy recipe.
