As strange as it seems, lemon juice actually helps to temper strong bitter tastes. Bitter and sour are often confused. In this case they compete with each other to create a balance. Start cautiously and increase the lemon to fit your tastes. People experience bitter flavour in very different ways so it will be personal choice.
