This is very easy

4 egg yolks

Grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup fresh meyer lemon juice

In a large pot bring about 1 1/2 inches of water to a simmer
In a stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until light buttery yellow
Add lemon zest and juice
Place a wooden spoon into the pot of simmering water and place the bowl with the lemon mixture over the pot
Whisking constantly, cook over simmering water until the mixture thickens (the white foam will disappear and the whisk will begin leaving a trail behind it, just like with whipped cream - maybe 10 minutes)
Remove from the heat and strain througha sieve into glass or ceramic
