So, I'm in the kitchen trying to make some fresh lemonade, but I'm stuck on the first step: how do I properly cut a lemon for squeezing? Do I just slice it in half and squeeze away, or is there a more efficient way to get all the juicy goodness out? I've heard about cutting off the ends and rolling it on the counter, but I'm not sure if that's necessary or just a trick. Help me out here, what's the best way to cut a lemon for squeezing?

With the trimmed lemon, stand it upright on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the lemon into quarters, ensuring even slices. Each quarter should contain a portion of the lemon's flesh and seeds.

To create lemon wedges, take each quarter and slice it in half lengthwise. This results in thin, manageable wedges that are perfect for squeezing or garnishing. The lengthwise cut ensures that the juice is easily accessible and released when pressed.

Juicing a lemon is a simple process that starts with selecting a lemon at room temperature. To enhance the juice yield, roll the lemon on a table with your palm, applying gentle pressure. This step helps loosen the fruit's fibers, making it easier to extract the juice.

Once the lemon is adequately rolled, it's time to cut it. Depending on your preference, you can cut the lemon in half lengthwise, exposing the flesh and seeds, or into thirds widthwise, creating thicker slices. Both methods are effective for juicing.

If you're aiming for lemon wedges, start by trimming about 0.5-1 inch (1-2.5 cm) from each end of the lemon. This step removes the harder, less juicy parts and prepares the fruit for further cutting.
