Lemon juice
It can come in handy when you want to make homemade lemonade. Maybe just for refreshment.
It can also be used in various dishes, such as desserts, creams, fillings, and even Italian dishes. The third reason to use juice is for health.

A microwave oven is enough
But what if you don’t have a press or a juicer, and when you squeeze a lemon by hand, only a few drops come out, and the rest stays inside?
There is no need to look for complicated methods, because there are very simple ones. You will need only one thing - a microwave oven. Put a lemon in it and that's it.
How to do it
Take any ordinary lemon and put it in the microwave. And what next? Nothing complicated, because all you have to do is turn it on.
In this case, the amount of time it will be there is important. It should be about 20 seconds. No more.
After the time has elapsed, open the microwave and wait a few minutes until the lemon cools down and can be handled.
Then, the classic way, cut it in half and squeeze the juice out of it by hand. We guarantee that you will be very surprised at how much juice you can get out of it.
Much more than if you hadn't microwaved it. And don't worry, high heat won't reduce the vitamin C content.
This will make the lemon juice as healthy as it should be.
