Best Way to Juice Lemons

Juicing a lemon can be difficult if you don’t have the right tools. There are different options that work great and allows you to juice the lemon without a lot of work.

• Hand Held Juicer – We love using this to juice a lemon. It is very easy to do and easy to transport. You can a lot of juice out of the lemon so it is very efficient.
• Juicer with Ridged top – You can also purchase a juicer that has a ridged top. Simply press the lemon on top and the lemon juice ends up in a cup.

How to Serve

This Frosted Lemonade is best served immediately with a straw and fresh lemons. We like to serve in fun glassed when we are serving to a crowd.

A Good Blender is a Must

We use our blender frequently so it’s really worth it to me to have a good one. You don’t save any money in the long run if you keep having to replace your blender. So, just buy a good from the start.

I have a Vitamix and I love it, it is worth the investment as it will last forever. It is old and is still going on strong. This blender is definitely an investment but it does not disappoint.

Now if a Vitamix isn’t in your budget, then I recommend a Waring professional blender. They are going to get the job done and you can get them for as low as $50. You may even like these The 6 Best Blenders Under $100 of 2024.
