How to measure lemon juice

Lemon juice is slightly denser than water, so a cup weighs a little more than 240 grams.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure lemon juice is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Lemon juice conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of lemon juice weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Lemon juice is denser than water (244 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
