- To get the most juice out of a lemon, before you juice it, make sure it is at room temperature and roll it firmly on the countertop a few times to ‘loosen the juice’ (you can also microwave for 10 – 15 seconds, just make sure to prick the lemon with a fork first)
- If you don’t have a lemon juicer that can catch the seeds, no need to add that gadget to the kitchen cupboard—just hold a fork or your other hand over the bowl, which will ‘handily’ catch the seeds
- Too many lemons to use up? Zest them before they go bad—you can freeze zest for up to six months in freezer bags. (Or you could just let the kids toss one around like a baseball!)
Have some of your own lemon tips? I would love to hear them.
