Create your own gumbo by combining one-half cup of sour cream, one tablespoon of salt, two cups of water and one-half cup of sugar. Give this a few minutes to soak. Add the gumbo mixture to a bowl, along with enough lemon juice to create a foam. Gently mix it together. Serve with a slice of cheese on the edge and enjoy.
If you are going to use it as a flavored drink add three to four drops of green food coloring to the mixture. This will brighten it up. To make it more enjoyable stir the strained gum into the drink you wish to serve. If you are going to use it as a candy decoration add one teaspoon of lemon rind or lime extract to the mixture. Alternately drizzle over some edible glitter over the top. Use enough to create a rainbow pattern and see which colors go with which drinks.
If you are going to use Lemon Beads Strain in a cookie, cut a rectangle of fondant and fold it in half, this creates a tube shape. Wrap the flattened tube around the bottom of a cookie, press down slightly and add a few drops of lemon juice to the end of the tube. This creates a cookie-like treat that is light, airy and absolutely delicious. When finished remove the cookie from the tube and cut into wedges.
To serve: Prepare all the above ingredients and place them in a mixing bowl and gently heat them until the lemon juice begins to simmer. Let them cool slightly, then cut off the tops. You can now add the strained lemon into the glass jars, add any other fruits, herbs, or spices that you want, if you prefer. If you do not have any of these items you can substitute them for sugar or packed fruit juice.
Store the jars in a sealable plastic bag and keep them in the refrigerator. After they have had time to settle, remove them from the bags and discard the latex gloves. You can now add your lemons to your homemade lemonade, shake well, and enjoy.
You may choose to add a squeeze bottle and a sprig of fresh parsley. Bring to room temperature before straining. Do not add salt while the mixture is still at room temperature. Let sit for two days before using.
