Instructions

Roll the Lemon

As mentioned above, rolling the lemon on a flat surface before cutting it can help release more juice.

Microwave the Lemon

You can also microwave the lemon for 15-20 seconds before cutting it, which can help to soften it and make it easier to juice.

Use a Citrus Reamer

A citrus reamer is a tool specifically designed for juicing citrus fruits. It has a conical shape with ridges that help to extract the juice from the fruit.

Use a Juicer

If you're juicing a large number of lemons, a juicer can be a convenient tool to have on hand. Electric juicers can quickly and efficiently extract juice from multiple lemons at once.

Notes

How to Store Lemon Juice

Freshly squeezed lemon juice should be stored in an airtight container, such as a glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. It is best to store the juice in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and prevent bacterial growth. Lemon juice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
