Of course! Making lemon powder is a fantastic way to preserve the bright, tangy flavor of lemons for months. It’s incredibly versatile and can be used to season everything from seafood and vegetables to desserts and drinks.
Here is a complete guide on how to make it, with two primary methods: using the peel (zest) for the most intense flavor, and using the whole slice for a more complex, slightly bitter powder.
Method 1: Lemon Zest Powder (The Best & Most Concentrated Flavor)
This method uses only the zest, which contains the potent lemon oils. It results in a vibrant yellow powder with a pure, intense lemon flavor.
What You’ll Need
· Lemons: 4-6 large, organic lemons (since you’re using the peel, organic is highly recommended)
· Tools: Microplane or fine zester, baking sheet, parchment paper, spice grinder (a clean coffee grinder works perfectly) or high-powered blender, fine-mesh sieve (optional)
· Time: 15 minutes prep + 1-3 hours drying
