Get the zest ready.
After giving the lemons a good wash in cold water, pat them dry. Remove the skin with a vegetable peeler or a small knife, being careful not to cut off the bitter white component known as the zest.
Let the bark dry.
Depending on what you have available, you can choose from three methods:
In the sun: For two to three days, spread the zest on a fresh cloth and place it in a bright area. To avoid humidity, bring them indoors at night.
In cooking, it’s similar to a magic ingredient—just a pinch may turn a simple recipe into a delicious and aromatic meal.
Sweet side: For a subtle yet sophisticated tangy touch, sprinkle it over your cakes, muffins, creams, or shortbread. A treat in a fruit tart or yogurt cake!
