  2. 2Stir in lemon juice and zest and let sit for 5 minutes to cool.
  3. 3Pour the mixture into the halved lemons.
  4. 4Place them on a cutting board or cupcake pan and place them in the fridge to chill, at least 3 hours.
  5. 5To brûlée, add a teaspoon of sugar to the top in an even layer. With a kitchen blow torch, caramelize the top. Serve immediately.
