Lemon juice tastes best fresh, not bottled. If you need to juice a lemon and you don’t have a citrus squeezer, try a toothpick instead, no slicing is required.

Take a toothpick and poke it through one of the lemon's ends to create a hole, but don’t poke so far that it goes through the fruit's other end. Then, squeeze away.

For best results, use a ripe lemon, which will be tender when pressed. Before trying this hack, roll the lemon between your hands to ensure the most juice gets squeezed out.
