How Many Lemons are Needed to Produce One Cup of Lemon Juice?

[janezapchef]

Anyone know?? I'm puting together a basket for a charity raffle, and it's going to be a lemonade kit. It'll be the quick-stir pitcher, citrus press, 1 prep bowl filled with sugar, a dots microfiber towel and lemons. I have a recipe for homemade lemonade (from the lemon juice bottle) that calls for 1 c. of lemon juice. Just wondering how many lemons that would be.
TIA!

If you use the citrus press, you can get almost 1/4 cup of juice from a lemon. So, I'd say 5-6 just to be safe. Don't wanna give the people less juice than needed!That's a very cute idea, btw.

Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I am happy to help with your lemonade kit for the charity raffle. Based on the information provided, 1 cup of lemon juice typically requires about 4-6 lemons, depending on their size and juiciness. I would recommend using 5 lemons to ensure you have enough juice for the recipe. Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck with your raffle!
