Lemon juice is an ingredient that is constantly found in many recipes and is often required for cleaning various surfaces.
However, due to the rather tough peel, it is not always possible to squeeze it out well without using a juicer.
With the help of simple manipulations, you can get the maximum amount of juice from the fruit in no time, if you know how to approach it correctly.
How to Squeeze Lemon Juice
Prepare a saucepan with running water, heat it to about 50 degrees.
Wash the fruit and then dip it in hot water for a couple of minutes. This will help soften the lemon peel a little.
After this, the fruit should be cut not across, but lengthwise. The larger the surface area of the pulp, the more juice it can give off.
Then arm yourself with a fork and start squeezing the juice out of the lemon. A fork is necessary because its sharp teeth pierce the membranes of the fruit and help to more effectively deal with the extraction of juice.
