Notes

Lemons vary in size, in the texture of their skin, and volume of juice and zest according to variety.A 'large' lemon should produce 3 tablespoons of juice, (45ml) and one tablespoon of zest, but it is not an exact science. Choose to buy lemons which have a little give when pressed, and remember to wash well before zesting.
