Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of lemon juice weighs about 258 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring lemon juice accurately
Always measure lemon juice in a clear liquid measuring cup set on a level counter for an accurate reading. Roll lemons firmly on the counter before juicing to extract the maximum amount of liquid consistently. Since volume can be tricky with small amounts, weighing the juice provides better precision.
