There are several methods to getting the lemon ready to be squeezed:
1. Put heavy pressure on the lemon; roll around on countertop
or
2. Put in microwave for 10 seconds
Then, just slice in half (shortest distance across), remove any visible seeds, sqeeze over hand, letting juice slide through fingers, catching any remaining seeds, or just squeeze over a collander to catch seeds. (I really don't like lemon seeds, although some people don't mind them as much).
Voila. Lemon juice.
A zester (there are several types) is meant to remove just the bright colored thin layer on the outside of the lemon (or orange or lime) which is called the zest. Rub the lemon over the rough part of the zester a few times until you see the yellow being removed. Stop when you begin to see the white pith under the yellow. That part is bitter. Move to another spot on the lemon and continue until you have all the zest you needs.
You can use orange zest or lime zest as a substitute for lemon zest in the recipe.

After you zest a lemon, chances are good that the lemon is still perfectly fine. You can use the juice as flavoring (in tea is really good) atop / in food or in drinks. If you cut the lemon, you can also use it as a garnish.
You fine grate the peel of a lemon by rubbing the lemon on the grater. You only want the peel. Lemon zest is simply the yellow part of the peel on the outside of the lemon. It has an intensely lemon flavour and is used to add flavour to many culinary dishes. To make lemon zest simply remove the yellow outer skin of the lemon with a grater or zester. Try to avoid taking off to much as the pith (the white part under the yellow skin) has a very bitter taste and can leave a dish with a bitter understate.
Zest, of any citrus fruit, is the finley shredded or minced colored skin of the fruit. There is a tool called a zester that can be used to "zest" a lemon or one can use the smaller holes on a box grater. Take care not to include any of the white layer, the pith, under the skin. The pith can taste bitter in your recipe. Easy Jupader da. Don't you have brains? you are so dumb edeitt!!!!!
