My recipe says 1 unit of lemon juice, what does that mean?



I am not sure if this recipe states that it is American or not but it is for a weight loss, eat healthy program and I do not understand what it is asking me.

It is to show you the ratio of juice to water, but leave the quantity up to you.



This way you can make different amounts: for example 1 unit lemon juice to 3 units water. You could sub in pints or liters or gallons or hogsheads or whatever was appropriate for the amount of lemonade you wanted to make, according to the ratio provided.



The puzzler is how much sugar to add, which is dependent on the amount of fluid. My guess is that there is no sugar as this is a weight loss sort of thing, so really it will just be dilute lemon water.

    This is partially accurate/helpful, but the ratio might not be juice to water. For example,my favorite margarita recipe is 1 unit of lime to 1 unit of tequila to 1 unit of orange liquor. To the OP: What is the rest of the recipe? A unit of lemon in relationship to which other ingredients?

    The internet suggests that another possible meaning of one unit of lemon juice is the juice from one lemon. That is to say, two to four tablespoons of lemon juice.



    If you have a bottle of lemon juice rather than a lemon, you can try two tablespoons and add to taste. Or if you have to make it all at once without tasting, try three tablespoons, which seems to be the middle of the range of possibilities. Two tablespoons would also be an eighth of a cup (one fluid ounce), if it's easier to measure that way.



    Of course, the recipe might make this clearer. Is this a standalone amount (e.g. one lemon) or a ratio (e.g. one part lemon to four parts water)? Or something else?



    For example, in this recipe, it is probably one lemon. I would also guess a glass is one cup of water, but it's not exactly clear on that either.

              Gaaah, why would anybody write "1 unit lemon juice" instead of just "The juice of one lemon"?

            The internet suggests that another possible meaning of one unit of lemon juice is the juice from one lemon. That is to say, two to four tablespoons of lemon juice.



            If you have a bottle of lemon juice rather than a lemon, you can try two tablespoons and add to taste. Or if you have to make it all at once without tasting, try three tablespoons, which seems to be the middle of the range of possibilities. Two tablespoons would also be an eighth of a cup (one fluid ounce), if it's easier to measure that way.



            Of course, the recipe might make this clearer. Is this a standalone amount (e.g. one lemon) or a ratio (e.g. one part lemon to four parts water)? Or something else?



            For example, in this recipe, it is probably one lemon. I would also guess a glass is one cup of water, but it's not exactly clear on that either.
