· Drinks: Stir into water, tea, cocktails, or lemonade for an instant flavor boost.
· Spice Blends: Mix with salt and pepper to create a lemon-pepper seasoning, or add to herb blends for dressings and marinades.
· Dusting: Use as a beautiful, flavorful dusting on desserts like cheesecake or panna cotta.
Key Tips for Success
· COMPLETELY DRY IS CRITICAL: Any moisture left in the zest or slices will cause the powder to clump and could lead to mold. It must be brittle enough to snap.
· Use Organic: To avoid pesticides and waxes on the peel, organic lemons are essential.
· Prevent Browning: The low, slow heat of the oven or dehydrator is key to preserving the color and flavor without cooking or burning the lemon.
· Grind in a Dry Grinder: Ensure your spice grinder is completely clean and dry to prevent clumping and flavor contamination.
