Roast lamb bones in a preheated oven at 400°F until browned, about 30 minutes.

Transfer roasted bones to a large pot.

Add chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the pot with the bones.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients by 2 inches.

Add bay leaves, black peppercorns, thyme, and parsley to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.

Skim off any foam that rises to the surface for clarity.

Simmer gently for 4-6 hours, adding water as needed to keep bones submerged.

Remove the pot from heat and let cool slightly.

Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids.

Stir in lemon juice and season with salt to taste.

Let the broth cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or freezer.
