Ingredients

Servings
  • 1.25 oz black peppercorns 1/4 cup
  • .4 oz dried lemon peels peels from approximately 4 lemons
  • .55 oz kosher salt 2 teaspoons
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. With a paring knife or a good peeler, peel lemons, being sure to leave as much of the white part on the lemon as possible.
  2. Line peels on a food dehydrator tray, set dehydrator for 135 degrees and dehydrate for 1 hour until lemon peels are dried.
  3. Add lemon peels, peppercorns, kosher salt, and garlic powder to Vitamix or another high powered blender or spice blender. Blend until it's a preferred grind.
  4. Store in an airtight container in spice drawer or add to a freezer for extended storage.

Notes

  • Storage
  • Storage
  • Store in an airtight container with your other spices for up to 2 years, although potency and freshness will start to deteriorate after 3-6 months.   
  • Freeze to retain the spice freshness for even longer!  
  • Substitutions
  • Substitutions
  • Kosher Salt - Use table salt, instead.  In this case, just add the table salt after everything is blended. 
  • Peppercorns - No whole peppercorns and only ground pepper?  No problem, you can substitute ground pepper 1:1.  
  • Garlic Powder - Use onion powder or make it savory with some dried basil, oregano, parsley, or cilantro.  
  • Dry in an Oven

  • No need to use a dehydrator if you don't have one.  You can use your oven, too.  Just set it to its lowest setting (if you have a dehydrate setting great!).  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 2-3 hours or until peels are dried.
