Notes
- Dried Red jalapeno, Fresno or Thai Birds Eye chile.
- I typically use Penzy's Dried Lemon Peel, but if you want you can zest 2 whole lemons, place the zest on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and dry in 200°F oven for 10-15 minutes, checking often as not to burn, but dry out (shake pan to move lemon zest around).
