Today I am going to let you know how I get the most juice out of my lemons. I love cooking with fresh lemon juice and adore a fresh glass of lemonade on a hot summer day!
First, let your lemons reach room temperature.
Then roll the lemon with the palm of your hand several times back and forth to help release the juice inside.
Next, cut in half and use a lemon squeezer of your choice and squeeze :)
When deciding how to pick your lemons from the grocery store stay away from rock hard lemons. You want your lemons to be firm, but give a little. Also, pick nice yellow lemons and stay away from ones that are still green or light in color. Avoid ones with marking, bruises, and open cuts.
Hope you found this kitchen tip useful!
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
okay, now i need a lesson on how to know which orange to get and there was another item that I was going to buy but had no idea if hard or soft was good... they really should have these tips up on a wall or something at the store! Great post!
