How much juice required if recipes says juice if one lemon.
« on: May 29, 2012, 06:55:51 am »
This is just a silly chat but have just made some more beautiful lemon butter, very tart this time as my lemons are super juicy. So....how much is the juice of one lemon.

I reckon it is the same as the amount  of juice of one lime. ;D ;D

I knew it was a dumb question but the point being i am getting more like 3/4 cup from my lemons at present ( also if they are left to sit a few days) and it doesnt really matter with lemon butter but my hollandaise sauce with 1/2 a lemin juiced was much too lemony which made me wonder what the recipe really required.

I am squeezing lemons every nite at the moment.
You also get more if you microwave them for a couple of seconds.

Now that is a very  good question. My hollindaise split last time for that very reason. Too much juice. So a recipe should say how many gms or how many teaspoons.  


And when you think about it the same goes for egg yolks.

Googling I came up with 45 mls but if you have large lemons it would be more than that.  I only use 1/2 a lemon if they are big and juicy.
