In a large pot, line the bottom with the rolled grape leaves and stack, alternating each layer in the opposite direction until they are all in. Fill pot with boiling water and add garlic cloves. Put a heavy dish on top to weigh the grape leaves down. 

Bring to a boil, and then lower the flame and simmer for about 45 minutes to one hour, or until leaves are tender but not falling apart. 

Drain water carefully and squeeze lemon over.  Place in a nice serving platter.
