Lemon or Lime Super Juice

This is the way to make a bunch more juice out of fewer lemons or limes. This is super useful if you need, say, a lot of lemon-mixed drinks for a party. It's a bit a science-y but it works! This technique comes from Kevin Kos.

Lemon Juice

Ingredients

• lemons, 1 equals about a cup of juice
• citric acid, same weight of lemon peels
• water, 16x the weight of lemon peels

Lime Juice

Ingredients

• limes, 1 equals about a cup of juice
• citric acid, 2⁄3 weight of lime peels
• malic acid, ⅓ the weight of lime peels
• water, 16x the weight of lime peels

Steps

1. Peel the citrus, avoiding scraping the white pith as much as possible.
2. Weigh the peels. This is your baseline number.
3. Place the peels in a glass bowl with the specified acids and their amount according to the citrus peel weight. Mix well.
4. Allow to sit for 2 hours. This will pull out oils from the peels.
5. Place peels in blender, use some water to rinse out the bowl and pour that in the blender along with the remaining water, and blend.
6. Blend for 30 seconds, then strain. Now you are ready to make some tasty drinks.
