    Does oranges work too?

    Yes, because they work the same as lemons. They are both citrus fruit and have the same insides as a lemon.

    I was told lemon helps reduce stomach fat, do I have to drink it with warm water?
    Community Answer
    Lemons can help speed up your metabolism. It's best to ingest the lemon juice with water to dilute the tartness and to stay hydrated, but I suppose you could just eat the lemon if you prefer.

    Can I juice a lemon by rolling it, then sticking a sharp pen into the end of the lemon, squeezing the juice out through the puncture?
    Community Answer
    No. Do use a pen or any other writing utensil. If you want to go this route, I suppose you could use a VERY well-cleaned screwdriver, large nail, awl, etc., but ink is toxic, so you definitely don't want to use a pen in any kind of food preparation.

    Can I juice a lemon by rolling it, then sticking a clean metal straw into the end of the lemon, squeezing the juice out through the puncture?

    That will work but the lemon juice will come out very slowly. A faster approach is to just cut open the lemon lengthwise and juice it.

    What is the best way to make alkaline water from lemon?

    Alkaline water is water that has a higher pH. Lemons are acidic and have a low pH. To make alkaline water, you need to add a substance with a high pH, such as sodium bicarbonate.

    Can I put the lemons in a juicer or a bullet?
    Community Answer
    You can put your lemons in a juicer, although it won’t prevent pulp, seeds, or membranes from getting in as well. I don’t suggest putting your lemon in a bullet or blender because all the unwanted parts like skin and hard membrane will go in too, altering the taste negatively.
