Ingredients
- 1½ lbs lemons about 7 small lemons
- 4 tbsp whole black peppercorns
Instructions
- Wash the rinds of the lemons, pat dry. Using a knife, remove the zest only and leave the pith.
- Place the pieces of lemon zest onto a baking sheet lined with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
- Place in a preheated oven at the lowest temperature possible. My oven temperature was 170 degrees F.
- The lemon zest is ready when it 'snaps' into 2 pieces rather than bend. Approximately 3 hours.
- Once the lemon zest has cooled enough to comfortably handle, add it to the spice grinder along with the peppercorns and grind until smooth.
