I Just Learned How To Properly Juice A Lemon Without A Juicer And It's Genius
As somebody that puts lemon juice in tea, rice, and every chicken dish I ever cobble together, let me tell you: there is never enough lemon juice to satiate my zesty needs.
With all of that being said, I don’t own a juicer. It’s not necessary, it’s not essential, but it does make the whole juicing process a little faster. I just keep forgetting to pick one up when I’m at the shops.
However, one genius, one utter SAINT, has shared his hack to thoroughly juicing a lemon without a juicer and let me tell you, lives were changed.
How to properly juice a lemon without a juicer
TikTok user Michael Hayes, who has over a million followers, shared his tip for juicing a lemon without a juicer.
For his method, he simply slices a lemon in half and then puts it between tongs, and then squeezing.
How. Did. I. Not. Think. Of. This.
I did immediately run to the kitchen to try this and honestly, it worked a treat. Pretty ideal for doing directly over a pan or even just a cup of ginger tea. Obsessed.
The chef also urged people not to throw out broccoli stalks and instead, sauté them in soy sauce for a side dish that tastes “just like sautéed onions.”
Unreal.
