To get more juice from a lemon or lime

Roll citrus fruit on a hard surface with your hand. This makes them easier to squeeze when cut. Alternatively, put the fruit into the microwave, on high, for 10 seconds to release the juices.
To freeze citrus juice and slices

If you have citrus juice left over when you are cooking, freeze it in ice cube trays. It is useful for drinks, dressings or all sorts of recipes that need a little juice. Try freezing lemon or lime slices in ice cubes – handy for drinks like gin and tonic!

Roll the lemon up and down your work top, pressing hard. When you extract juice you will get more. Juice not required can be frozen in ice cube moulds to use another time - great added to water to give a refreshing zing.
