Treasured Tip #6

In order to receive the most possible juice from a lemon or lime, place it in the microwave for about 10 seconds first.  Then, cut it in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl.  You can even turn the peel inside out to ensure that all of the juice is extracted.  If the recipe calls for the lemon zest as well, make sure to grate the lemon after you take it out of the microwave, but before you cut it apart!
