– Half a lemon usually gives 1–2 tablespoons of fresh juice for recipes.
– Bigger lemons yield more juice, while smaller ones give less quantity.
– Warm lemons at room temperature release juice more easily when squeezed.
– Roll lemon on a counter to soften it and increase the juice you extract.
– Heat for 10–15 seconds to loosen pulp and get more juice from each half.
