Recipe Notes
It is recommended that you use Meyer lemons. They are a little sweeter and less acidic than their common grocery store cousins, and have a little more depth of flavor. A softer kind of lemoniness with a faint tangerine tang.
You could replace the maple syrup for a simple syrup made from home. Equal parts sugar and water heated in a saucepan on the stove, until the sugar has dissolved.
