If you are like me and can't find your juicer, then use this easy trick to juice your lemon and lime. 
  1. Peel out the inside of the fruit. 
  2. Put the fruit middle in the blender and puree for about 30 seconds. 
Your result will be very pulpy juice with the seeds, but don't worry we will fix this in Step 3.

Good!

Now, if you don't have any gadget. And you don't have electrricity, you can even then, do this...

* Cut the lemmon/ lime in half through its 'ecuator'.

* Stick a fork inside the soft part of its center and move it upwards and downwards until all the juice is out.

* Perhaps you would prefer to put a clean cloth over a jar and pass the extracted juice through it to obtain a pure clean liquid.

* The feel free to add the desired sugar and cold water. And stir for some minutes.

* You could add some stripes of the lemon/lime out skin, without the white part of its inner part. That would add some blend to the mixture.

Enjoy!
