Simple way to squeeze lemons with no fuss as we've been doing it wrong

There's nothing better than squeezing a lemon over your fish or into your gin and tonic, but it can be a messy affair.

But the problem looks to have been solved by a nutritionist who posted a video showing her method of extracting lemon juice with zero mess.

The clip, created by Jacqui Baihn, racked up over 370,000 views and sees the ingenious method in action - reports Mirror Online.

Jacqui shared the video to Tik Tok with the caption: "I was today years old when I found out you could do this" - and plenty of others were left wondering why they had never been told before.

To do it, all you'll need is a metal or wooden skewer long enough to piece a hole from the top of the lemon all the way through to the other side.

After making the holes, Jacqui removes the skewer and holds the lemon with one of openings pointing over a mug.

She then simply squeezes the lemon, and juice flows into the cup with no pips and no mess.

Asking her followers: "Did you know this!?" it was clear that many of them had never seen the 'mind-blowing' method before.

One replied to say: "Well, okay. Thanks again TikTok for teaching me more than my parents ever did."

Another wrote: "You can milk a lemon?!?"

A third commented: "OMG! I had no idea about this! Been squeezing lemons so wrong for so long."

It's not the only food hack nutrition expert Jacqui has shared on TikTok, as she also shares simple recipes to cook up your favourite food, as well as tips on how things like how to beat bloating and deal with IBS.
