A lemon has 2-3 Tbsp. A large lemon 4 Tbsp.

Limes have considerably less. Smaller ones will have between 1 tsp and 1 Tbsp. A large lime may have up to 2 Tbsp.

Rolling lemons or limes between the counter and the palm of your hand before squeezing them may yield more juice.

it REALLY varies! pop in the microwave for 30 seconds, then roll on the counter with pressure first, you will get the most. Some lemons I can get 1/4 cup--but that is a rarity. Usually half that for a lime

This is probably a dumb question and I know it's probably listed in one of cookbooks(just being lazy) but how much juice does a lime and or lemon yield?
