I think the lemon peel/rind part (assuming the "peel" in the ingredients is the same as the "rind" in the instructions) could be explained more clearly. I'm guessing you're supposed to use a microplane or grater on 5 whole lemons? And, if that is the case, any chance we could get a weight or volume for consistency?

Yes, the grated rind of 5 lemons. Hopefully, now clearer.
