Wondering how much juice in one lemon? Here’s the formula you need, plus tips on how to juice a lemon, zesting, recipes, and more.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Roll the lemon on the countertop for a few seconds. This helps to release the juices inside the fruit.
  2. Cut the fruit in half width-wise.
  3. Place in a press juicer: A press juicer is the quickest and easiest method: it gets out the most juice and saves your fingers from tiring out from squeezing. Place the fruit into the press juicer cut side down and squeeze the handles together.
  4. Or, press in a handheld citrus juicer. Place the fruit cut side down onto a handheld citrus juicer and twist the lemon to release the juices.
  5. Don’t have a juicer? Simply squeeze out the juice with your hands into a small liquid measuring cup, then strain it to remove seeds.
