You will need one lemon, dried neem leaves, cotton for a wick, neem or mustard oil, 2 to 3 pieces of camphor, 5 to 6 cloves, and a small piece of cinnamon.
Cut a lemon in half, extract the juice, and carefully scrape out the remaining pulp using a spoon to leave space inside the empty peel for the other ingredients.
Choose a location away from flammable materials to keep the lamp safe, and ensure it is placed where mosquitoes are most prevalent.
