Advice

The seasoned butter can be prepared in advance. It will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week, and in the freezer for up to one month. Take the butter out of the refrigerator one hour before use. Its best to use organic lemons, whose peel is not treated with pesticides. If organic lemons are not available, submerge the lemon in boiling water for a few minutes and wipe it well to remove the wax, which contains toxins.
