Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and tough. Beat them until they are stiff peaks, but not so stiff that they are dry.
- Bake the pie until the meringue is golden brown. This will ensure that the meringue is cooked through and has a nice flavor.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
