Lemon juice is widely used in cooking.
After all, it is an important ingredient in some confectionery products and many salad dressings.
In addition, the sour drink can be used when preparing fish.
You can also simply add lemon juice to water: you will get a refreshing and very healthy drink.
But many amateur cooks complain that they can’t squeeze enough juice out of the citrus fruit.
But professionals know about one trick that allows you to get a lot of juice from one lemon.
This trick was shared by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
How to Squeeze a Lot of Juice from a Lemon
Place the lemon in a saucepan and pour water into the container.
There should be just enough liquid to completely cover the citrus fruit.
Remove the lemon, place the container with water on the stove, and turn on the burner.
When the liquid is well heated (the temperature should be about 50 degrees), put the lemon in it.
After exactly 120 seconds, remove the fruit and wait until it is no longer very hot.
Roll the warm lemon on the table, cut the citrus fruit lengthwise and start squeezing the juice into some deep container. Use a fork, not a spoon!
The juice will be 3 times more than usual. Firstly, the high temperature will "force" the lemon to "give up" a lot of liquid. Secondly, the softness of the peel will contribute to the abundance of juice. Thirdly, the large cut will also allow you to squeeze out a lot of the drink.
