That might be a reference to something I describe, in that when you
first stir lemon juice into the powder, you aim for a texture like
cookie dough and let that sit overnight. Then you thin that out with
your coffee, tea, clove, more juice ... whatever mix the next morning.
If you mix enough juice into the powder to get it to cookie dough
thickness (I was thinking of sugar-cookie dough) then it's wet enough
and acid enough to make the hennotannins break out of the plant
material. If you stir in enough lemon juice on the first go to get it
to working thickness, you don't have leeway left to play with your
other stuff.
For hennaeing, I like to thin out the paste to something a tad thicker
than stirred up yoghurt.
