Get More Juice From Lemons And Limes

Before you try to juice a lemon or a lime, roll it on the counter using your palm to press down on the fruit.  That breaks down the cells that store the juice. If you are also going to use the zest, do that first before you juice it.
The average lemon will yield between 2 and 3 tablespoons of juice.  If you use a reamer, you will get more than if you just squeeze it in your hands.
Have a "juicy" day!
