Question

Hello, Is it permissible to squeeze a lemon into a cup of hot water on Shabbat?

Answer

Hello 

There are two prohibitions involved.

It is forbidden to squeeze a lemon on Shabbat into a drink due to the prohibition of 'dash'. 

It is forbidden to add lemon juice into hot water even if it is in a second vessel, due to the doubt of 'kli bishul'.
