Science Riddle #1 - The Man And The Waiter

A man in a restaurant asked a waiter for a juice glass, a dinner plate, water, a match, and a lemon wedge. The man poured enough water onto the plate to cover it. "If you can get the water on the plate into this glass without touching or moving this plate, I will give you $100," the man said. "You can use the match and lemon to do this.” A few minutes later, the waiter walked away with $100 in his pocket.

How did the waiter get the water into the glass?

Hint: The glass will be upside-down when the water is in it.
