How ½ cup of lemon juice works out
One US cup of lemon juice weighs 240 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 240 × 0.5 = 120 g. In the other direction, 120 g of lemon juice divided by 240 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of lemon juice (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 127 g.
Tip: Roll a lemon firmly on the counter and warm it briefly before juicing to release more liquid from the same fruit.
