Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

1 Lemon (cut in half)
2 Soft peppermint stick

Steps:

Slice a lemon in half around the circumference. Some people cut the top third off but I find that the short sticks do better in half a lemon. Also, if this is a fundraiser you have a better profit margin if you can sell 1 vs. the one.
Use a little knife to make a small X in the center of the lemon and press the soft peppermint stick into the center.
