  • Use a vegetable peeler or fine grater to remove the zest, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.

3. Dry the Zest

You have three easy options:

  • Sun-drying: Spread the zest on a clean cloth in a sunny spot for 2–3 days. Bring it indoors at night to avoid moisture.

  • Oven-drying: Place the zest on a baking sheet and dry at the lowest temperature (around 140°F/60°C) for 30–60 minutes, checking frequently.

  • Dehydrator: Spread the zest in a single layer and dry at 115°F (45°C) for 2–4 hours until completely crisp.

4. Grind into Powder

Once the zest is fully dried (it should snap, not bend), grind it into a fine powder using a spice grinder, mortar and pestle, or blender.

5. Store Properly

Transfer the powder to an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dark place. It will stay fresh for months!
